  • Food

    May 18, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Wow I love food. Like seriously, love it.

    On my way to Rome now. Boiling hot but good only a bit delayed train!

  • Rome and Vatican city

    May 19, 2022 in Vatican City ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Spent all day walking around Rome and Vatican city. It was boiling hot, like 32°, and ended up burning but worth it.

    The city is huge but amazing. An eclectic mix of ancient Rome sitting beneath old Rome, the modern city perched haphazardly on top.

    It is incredible to see the city peeling back and revealing these layers of history and mythology.

  • Field trip

    May 20, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Went for a trip to see some ruins on the outskirts of the city. 2hrs of walking around the park later, I realised there was no foot path. Quick bus ride back to the city and more sight seeing.

  • To Genova

    May 21, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Long train journey. Very turny train journey. Felt a bit like a roller coaster some times. 0/10 would recommend.

  • Genova

    May 22, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Genoa, beautiful, historic, but boring. There wasn't as much to do as I had expected there to be. But had a lovely walk around and just relaxed. Relaxing was much needed.

  • Eze

    May 24, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Gorgeous. Like literally, amazing. Beautiful little historic town, castle on the top, exotic garden. Very glad I made the journey up, wasn't sure I'd make it when the bus showed 40mins late but worth the wait.Read more

  • Monaco

    May 24, 2022 in Monaco ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Monaco says before the grand prix is quite something. Once I got out of the racing area, it was much nice.

    Got to see the track, the port, millions of pounds worth of boats and a stunning view. The south of France is stunning, the ports are the best part in my opinion. Architecture meets sea meets green.

    Walked around the side of Monaco and up to the Palace. The panorama was insane.

  • Dinner with a friend

    May 25, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    I loved spending time with someone else this evening. It felt like forever since I've had some proper time with another and it was so nice.

    Finally went in the Mediterranean, slept on the beach at sunset and had Niçoise food.

    Living the life.

  • Nice

    May 25, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Loving Nice. The city is a mix of old and new, a collection of French, Italian and Mediterranean.

    Did my final free walking tour of the city and met two other female solo travelers. We had a great time walking with the tour and then went up to the lookout together afterwards. Really enjoyed the morning, it's been nice to spend time with other people again.Read more

  • Cannes film festival

    May 26, 2022 in France ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    Went down to Cannes and realised too late it was their film festival. Very busy, very warm, but pretty cool too see. Lots of people in fancy suits and cars wandering about, security everywhere!

  • Wandering around

    May 27, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Another short walk around Nice and its midday market. It ended up being 35° ish today so quickly retreated too the hostel for air con and a sleep.
