If you’re thinking of a summer in France, chances are it’s Saint-Tropez’s pastel-colored streets and exclusive beach clubs that will pop to mind first. The forever home of Brigitte Bardot, and pretty much the entire French elite, and one of the world’s most effortlessly classy destinations, with Michelin-starred restaurants and postcard-ready corners galore, ‘St Trope’ …
Love it or hate it, Paris is without question one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Trust me, I’ve been living here for 5+ years now, and I’m yet to run out of breathtaking sights and flowery cafés to discover. There’s just one major downside—other than dealing with the hellish French bureaucracy and …
They say to never settle, but that’s exactly what travelers end up doing when visiting some of the most sought-after destinations on Earth.

Some say a beach is a beach; it doesn’t matter where you are. I say those people haven’t been to Galveston and Destin — two completely different, yet wildly popular, Gulf Coast getaways that are nothing alike. The same can be said all across the world: not every Greek island is a mirror image of …
Pistacchio gelato sitting on a pier overlooking a pastel-hued port in Croatia. Vespa rides along Italy’s winding coastal roads, passing cliffside houses and imposing Renaissance palaces. Lounging on an exclusive beach club in Nice, France, spritz in hand and not a care in the world. Sounds dreamy, alright, until you factor in the buzzing crowds, …
Take it from me, someone who always becomes a pantomiming master as if I’ve never traveled before, learning a new city’s transit system is no easy feat no matter where you find yourself.

Love it or hate it, Paris is the world’s most visited city. Cliché or not, crowds swarm Place du Trocadéro for Eiffel selfies, Seine cruises past elegant façades, and lamp-lit Montmartre strolls under the shadow of Basilique du Sacré-Cœur’s soaring dome—and listen, I get it. Never dreamed I’d ditch my previous cozy London nook for …

The last thing …
No more waiting for hours on end at some secondary European airport, nor pulling your hair out at the departure gate ’cause Ryanair staff suddenly decided your perfectly sized cabin bag doesn’t actually fit the measurer. “The wheels are sticking out,” huh? Yeah, classic. This summer, if you’re planning to country-hop around Europe, you can …
I’ll never take for granted how lucky I am to call Europe home. Being based in Paris, with a good few London and Ireland years under my belt before that, I basically grew up hopping countries and crossing borders like it was no big deal. In the Schengen era, it’s not like there are even …
Let’s be real for a sec: as much as Mediterranean beach getaways and Swiss Alps escapes are magical, the main reason why we all flock to Europe year in, year out is that unmatched Old World allure. Yeah, the nature’s stunning, and sign me up for a pistachio gelato date on an Italian lungomare any …
