Hi guys its been awhile and I apologize but I promise to catch you up on my life and what has been going on.
As most of you know, post grad I had planned to do a little traveling, and that quickly turned into LOTS of traveling but no complaining here! My summer started out in Cabo and then a few weeks later I was headed to Europe for ten days with the fam bam, yes I said only ten days. How we did three countries in 10 days, my body is wondering the exact same thing but It was SO worth it and I cant wait to tell you all about it.
PHX --> Fort Worth --> London
1. London
Our first stop on the list was London and when I say I wish I could live here forever I mean it. The people were with out a doubt the nicest human beings, the food was delicious, shopping was on point, and the site seeing was unreal. We only had three days here but we filled up every day with every touristy thing possible. We stayed in the scariest/coolest air bnb and I only say this because I have a fear of heights and we had 360 views of London. PEEP pics below. It was very cute and contemporary and accommodated our family so well.
I have to say Harrods was like a dream for me. If you don’t know what Harrods is, it is the biggest department store in Europe located on Brompton Road. It has literally any designer brand you can think of. The best part about Harrods is that theres many many levels with bakeries, and kinds of different foods as well. IT IS AMAZING. I could easily spend the whole day there. I also have to say that my other favorite part about London is the History. I dont recommend the tourist busses just because I didn’t have a great experience but I do recommend checking out all of the museums and monuments by yourself.
2. Paris
Next stop on the list was Paris! We took the train to France and I was SO sick the entire time lol. But we wont get into that. Our place in Paris was UNREAL. My dads fiance did such an incredible job finding the most gorgeous Air bnb so close to the eiffel tower. Check pictures below! We only had limited time here so right away we started the site seeing. I had a mission to find this beautiful spot to get a full view of the eiffel tower and I found it. The most stunning views, and we got the best pictures!! ( also peep below) Now the people here were not the nicest but that did not ruin our time at all ;) We had yummy food, watched the eiffel tower light up, toured the louvre, and went on a midnight tour of the city where we found the cutest most delicious crepe place. I wish we had more time here because we did not get to experience the shopping and a lot more food. We tried to extend a night in our place but we were in Paris during Fashion week so someone had rented out the night. ( Also super cool had no idea it was Paris Fashion week) Paris, you will be missed, I shall be back!!
3. Dublin
Our last stop on our journey through Europe was Dublin Ireland! Once again we stayed in the cutest place. We shared the house with a very very nice family. What I loved the most about Dublin is how welcomed you feel. Everyone is so nice and so down to earth. Touring this city was so different than London or Paris. It felt very homie, and country. We decided to tour the Guinness factory and had the best time learning all about the process and enjoying lots of beer! We were able to enjoy some delicious Oyster Bloody Mary shots at one of Dublin’s most famous Pub called Temple bar and listened to some great music. After we enjoyed a horse carriage ride! ( i’m super allergic to horses so not so fun for me but still an experience lol) Our last night in Europe was a special one. We went out to the pubs late at night in Dublin and had the time of our lives. We met some AMAZING musicians and locals. All so kind, and they even shouted us out during their performances as the Arizonians haha. We danced the night away and I can still remember the feeling. Nothing else mattered in this moment. Just dancing, sweating, laughing, good time with amazing people. DUBLIN I LOVE YOU!!! This is the feeling I get that makes traveling so addicting.
Europe was a dream. I miss it everyday, and I cant wait to go back!!
Xx,
