This trip wasn’t a checklist or a highlight reel.
It was a month of slow mornings, creative resistance, long walks, quiet meals, and learning how to listen to myself again: across Paris, the French countryside, and the northern coast.






These posts are a collection of moments rather than an itinerary. If you’re craving travel that feels restorative instead of rushed, I hope you find something here that speaks to you.
If you’re dreaming of a trip like this and don’t want to figure it all out alone, I’m always happy to help when the time feels right, through my travel planning services at Styled Getaways.
