The prettiest village in England (or so they say)

Weekend vibes (even though it’s only Thursday) ✨

How stupidly gorgeous is this view from the @rentallcomo Villa Bianca? @leahtravels took me along as her plus one for a weekend girls’ getaway, complete with prosecco, hot tubbing, and scenic vistas. It’s off season in Como right now, so most nights all you could hear was the lake water lapping at the sides of the boats anchored just a few feet from the villa’s garden. It was perfectly calm, and perfectly beautiful- so with the snow-capped tips of the Alps turning pink in the distance, we raised a glass together to friendship, to healing, and to the sheer beauty this world has to offer.

Ticking Bath off the bucket list ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What a charmer! Bath was every bit as gorgeous as I’d seen in photos, so quintessentially English and full of history. One afternoon was nowhere near enough- next time I hope to be able to stay in the city itself to really discover all it has to offer. Have you ever been to Bath?

About Me

Hi, I'm Emily! Storyteller and endlessly curious, I love to travel but I also love getting to know the heart of a city. Since 2014, I've called Paris home and have learned the ins and outs of the city, as well as exploring around Europe. Here I share my favorite discoveries, expat and visitor advice, and photo diaries from my travels.
