April was meant to be a low-key month, but things quickly revved up! The big trip of the month was a journey to France, mostly concentrated in the Loire Valley, but I managed to fit in two super-quick trips to Berlin and London as well.
Let’s take a look at the best of April 2024!
Destinations Visited
- Prague and Plzeň, Czech Republic
- Berlin, Germany
- London, England
- Amboise, Chenonceaux, Lignac, Prissac, Buxerolles, Poitiers, Les Hérolles, Vernou-en-Sologne, and Orléans, France
Highlights
I met Elizabeth Gilbert! On Facebook I found out she was speaking in Berlin, so I immediately bought a meet-and-greet ticket, and decided to go there and back by bus (five hours each way, woohoo).
And it was so worth it. I wore my new purple outfit from Sézane (this top and these pants) and she told me I looked glamorous! We had a brief chat about giving women the tools they need to travel solo, which was so nice. And then it was time for her talk.
AND WHAT A TALK. If you ever have a chance to go see her, do. Her talk was about mercy, and how she learned it from her late partner, Rayya. She is incredibly wise. That’s why Eat, Pray, Love became a juggernaut in the first place — the quality of her writing, and the wisdom she shared.
Listening to her is the equivalent of going to a spa for a week, and after the show I decided to walk 40 minutes back to the bus station so I could keep thinking about what she said.
I got my eyebrows microbladed again — and this time, it’s sticking. The first time I got my eyebrows microbladed, in January, they looked good but completely faded. This time, my artist did them much darker, and they came out much better.
Overall, I feel like I can go out without having to pencil in my eyebrows! They’re ready to go as is. I miiiiight go for one more little touch-up.
I won Blogger of the Year at the TravMedia Awards! Earlier this year I found out I was nominated, and in April I traveled to London for a lightning-fast 24-hour visit to attend the awards.
It means a lot to me to receive a British award, because Britain has played such a huge role in my travel blogging career. Having that validation means a lot.
