Mini trip to Rome held lots of pasta (so much pasta- even for someone that's been in Sicily) and lots of perilous cobblestone walking, and terrible terrible Italian conjugations (on my end it's a guessing game), and thinking that the entire city is like Times Square filled with tourists that take up too much room- but then I turn the corner to a sweet little piazza, two Roman drivers are arguing melodically in Italian and *with gusto* and I wander its little side streets, until I find the perfect biscotteria and un doppio macchiato and then all is right in the world #ciaoroma #eternalcity #adopo (at Vacanza Romana)

Believe the hype: listening to the Dalai Lama speaking about we need to stop being dicks about refugees, how the future is all about quantum physics, how Trump is a big emotional baby, and how the Sicilian sun is hot AF. Also- check out this mountaintop Greek amphitheater built in the 3rd century BC 💯😮 #greeksbuildnothingintheshade #sweatybuddhists #dalaiflow (at Teatro Antico Taormina)

Gimme a tiny beach with a quick dip in the sea and I'm a happy woman 🐙🐚 (at Ortigia Island)

120k of winding French countryside roads on a sportsbike; plenty of stops for picture taking, French driver included #reallyreallyfast #🙈 #fearless40 (at Lac de Sainte-Croix)

Getting a five minute heads up (yep the wind is just right) in the middle of a lunar eclipse (do y'all even KNOW my feels about moon phases?) I ran right off this mountain (fact: against all natural instinct) glided over trees (thought: please don't barf) over a serene crystal blue lake (so, so, pretty) waved to the neighbors (they 👋 back) to land in the front yard of the house I'm staying in (can't believe we didn't miss the mark by like, a hundred miles)-- Thank god I was attached to someone who knew what the hell he was doing (with what seemed to be basically a large garbage bag holding us both up by strings 😱) #40thbirthday #whatjusthappened #overthehill #literallyrunningoffthehill #paragliding #frenchalps (at Saint-André-les-Alpes)

Lived out 10 days of a fantasy I didn't know I had- being a scullery maid in a crumbling 600 year-old château; highlights included getting lost in a maze of rooms, cleaning out million of cobwebs, waking up to birds singing in the attic, listening to delicious gossip about the visitor's comings and goings, cooking dinner every night in a tower with the staff, and rambling around overgrown rose gardens on the daily #châteaulife #timetraveling​ #somanyspiders #🏰 (at Château de Saint Dau)

LONDON: I enjoyed your people and their profound politeness on public transport, 36 straight hours of rain clouds, and fancy cocktails with British buddies. Next ✈️: the land of whiskey, bagpipes, and Outlander (duh) #jesuisprest #imgoodwithlayovers #womenwhowander (at London Liverpool Street Station)

Warning- don't get out of your vehicle when you spot a string of ponies. Inevitably one will trot over, nuzzle its snout against you for affection and give you pony kisses; now all of a sudden you're questioning why you don't stop all your travels. New plan: move to Iceland and breed fuzzy-haired, short-legged, soul-warming ponies forever and ever. THE END. #futureponyshaman #iloveyourfrizzybangs #icelandicpony #💔 #🐴 #illbeback #neighneigh (at Bláskógabyggð)

Low point: paying $9 for a small jar of generic peanut butter and feeling like I got a deal. High point: this beautiful fucking waterfall. So if a thundering, majestic glacial waterfall in front of a field full of delicate wildflowers doesn't make your heart swell up a lil' then you are dead inside #peanutbutterinvestmentportfolio #goddamnnature #majesticandshit #chasingwaterfalls #grownuptears (at Skógafoss)

Goth beach 🌑🌴🌊 #blacksandbbath #lovewilltearusapartagain (at Reynisfjara Beach)

Endless fields and fields of lupin everywhere. Icelanders nonchalantly say it's a weed planted to stop topsoil erosion but I say 💜💜💜 to that... Just one more thing to delight foreigners in the land of elves and trolls. Tourists stop their cars on the sides of the road and wade through it, clasping bouquets of them like fools, drunk on the vibrant color #purplerain #lupinmania #tourists #whereyougonnaputthat (at Vík)

Who wants to sleep when this is your witching hour? (at Iceland Reykjavik)
