72 hours in Lille in pictures

Last weekend was one of the glorious long spring weekends, with amazing weather. Perfect timing because it was also the weekend in which my boyfriend and I headed to Lille with his family. We enjoyed the sunshine, the adorable town, the shops and we even paid a visit to the zoo. Lille isn’t a particularly large city, but it’s very charming, especially the old part. Now I am not planning on turning this into a city guide but I do have a top 5 of things you should do while you are in Lille.

Paris is always a good idea, right? That’s why two weekends ago I went there on a quick getaway. We went there Saturday morning with the Thalys and left Sunday evening. It was just a short trip but I left feeling extremely inspired. So here’s a recap of 36 hours in Paris in pictures.

Italy on my mind (the Florence guide)

Italy on my mind (the Florence guide)

As part of our Italian roadtrip my boyfriend and I decided to pay Florence (also known as Firenze) a visit. Florence wasn’t really on our radar so we went there without any expectations. The only reason why we planned a few days in Florence was the fact that my boyfriend really wanted to eat a bistecca alla fiorentina, or in other words a huge steak from a specific type of cow (not kidding). Sometimes the trips you plan without expectations turn out to be the best ones, because we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and all the amazing food places Florence has to offer. I hope you enjoy reading our recommendations in this Florence guide.

I read great things about Lisbon and it was high on my wishlist so in May, during my move, my boyfriend and I decided to have a little break in this beautiful city. I hope you enjoy this Lisbon guide.

72 hours in Copenhagen (the Copenhagen guide)

72 hours in Copenhagen (the Copenhagen guide)

When my boyfriend and I were planning our first weekend getaway last March, we were looking for a destination where neither of us had been before. Since we are both into the Scandinavian style and had Stockholm and Copenhagen on our travel list, we knew it had to be one of these destinations. So in April we went to Copenhagen for the weekend and today I am finally sharing my travel tips.
