Pit stop in the mountains of Crete ! 🐴

We found this beautiful ranch with horses, in the middle of nowhere, and decided to try it out for a night for the experience. It was really awesome, the Odysseia Stables are tucked away from the sea, but they have a nice infinity pool to make up for it.

The ranch was super quiet, and peaceful. We kinda had a special connection with the island there, as we went for a hike, did some yoga and checked on the different animals. It was very different from everything else we’d done before, it’s a definite to-do !

It takes a lifetime to discover Greece, but it only takes a moment to fall in love there

It takes a lifetime to discover Greece, but it only takes a moment to fall in love there

We’re here visiting a fortress in ruins in the city of Sitia 😊

Very picturesque town, not much for beaches though, but the sightseeings are unlike any other place in Crete we’d seen so far. We were exploring with great curiosity, and had a really nice moment there… but we left early, because the sun was crazy hot and we needed to get a swim !

It’s quite far east, and I’m not sure it’s worth going all the way there : time & gas wise. I’d say, turn back south west after Mochlos, which is definitely the prettiest fisherman village of the coast.

Paying a little surprise visit to my Grandma 🤍

Got her the nicest macarons from Ladurée, so she can enjoy a little tea time with me, just as if we were in Paris together ! Since she had her stroke, she can’t travel, and she’s been missing those moments. So I’ve decided to bring some of Paris directly to her 🤗

Chemin de Nietzsche

Chemin de Nietzsche

My boyfriend loves Nietzsche, so I surprised him with this hike !

I knew there was this beautiful path that the philosopher used to take to get to the medieval town of Èze. It’s definitely more for experienced hikers, and not for someone like me suffering from rheumatoid arthritis 😅. But I also read online that there were many spots along the way where you could sit and rest : and that’s absolutely true ! Without it, I wouldn’t have managed to get up there. It’s an hour hike, it took me over two hours… as you can imagine, I sat whenever I could.

It was a real challenge for the both of us, for him it was a special connection to the writer, and for me it was completely physical. Being quite recently diagnosed with two auto-immune diseases has been difficult for me, but I know I can’t achieve anything if I let that be the best of me. So I push myself, and I’m always happy when I reach my goals, like this one ❤️.

Enjoying the Mediterranean sun in Monaco

Enjoying the Mediterranean sun in Monaco

Whatever happens in Monaco, stays in Monaco ? 🇲🇨

This place is a little bit like Las Vegas, but with a heavy French Touch… so it’s beautiful ! Gorgeous even ! The city is basically divided in quarters, you have the casino one (with all the fancy luxury stores), the riviera where you can spot extravagant yachts, and the old town where the castle is, on top of a hill : which was my favorite.
