PARIS

we were in paris for 4 days, so lots of adventuring happened. here's some pictures of it all:







the highlight of paris was when france won the world cup. there were quite literally riots in the streets. i've never experienced something so crazy and overwhelming in my life. people were ripping lamp posts out of the ground, flipping cars over and jumping on them, running around with torches, etc. it was insane, and unreal. how freaking lucky are we? we just so happened to be in france while they played in the world cup.... and then they end up WINNING the world cup. it was a once in a lifetime experience!


another highlight of paris was bastille day (france's independence day). we celebrated by getting dressed up fancy, and watching fireworks underneath the eiffel tower (accompanied by a dinner of mcdonalds).




annnnd i'd go back to paris for the raspberry macaroon alone.

Geneva Switzerland

the morning after our perfect day in lauterbrunnen we caught an early train to geneva switzerland. that first day we went to montreux for the jazz festival - one of the biggest music festivals in the world (second largest jazz festival in the WORLD to be exact). we bought tickets to see tyler the creators set - which was soooo sick btw. opening for him was playboi carti and a few others.




we had the whole day before the set started for us to walk around and explore. we took a SUPER long walk to this pretty castle. everything was fenced off, but i hoped those fences anyways and set up my phone for some CRINGEY self timer photos. all is well tho.


 





 that concert was one of THE funnest i've ever been to. i think indy nicole and i were the only girls there. and i especially was sooo out of place with my curled hair and gingham jumpsuit. too funny.


the aftermath of me.... i lookin' a solid 10/10. we had been pressed up against the bars in front of the stage - we made it to the very front!!! it was an intense and sweaty experience, but so amazing! 


AMAZING STORY TIME: 
that night after the concert indy was approached by some random guy that had come from backstage. he told her his friend thought she was cute and she asked him to introduce them two. he introduced himself as Jay and they exchanged numbers, we made plans to hang out later that night. turns out, jay is PLAYBOI CARTI'S 'BROTHER'. looong story short, we went over to jay's hotel, hung out with him and damon (who works with carti). 


okay. now the story GET'S GOOD. damon leaves for the airport and jay disappears for about 20 minutes. suddenly he comes back in with someone else, this guy is covering his face with his shirt, he looks at us, makes eye contact with us all, and then turns around and leaves. we were all in shock, was that really palyboi carti? sure looked like him, but it was too good to be true. 

jay disappears (again) and we're about to just bail, when suddenly jay comes back and says "k, we're going to go back into this other hotel room. but one rule first...." and he holds out his hand. "you want our phones?" i ask. this was it. we were about to meet playboi. i just knew it. we - being foolish and over trusting - hand over our phones. i didn't think anything of it in the moment because i was running on adrenaline. we walk over to the hotel room next door and sure enough, there he is, with his shirt covering the mark on his face. we played cool or "dumb" if you will and didn't fan girl. we acted like we didn't even know who he is. we hung out all night, and eventually all of us fell asleep on his bed. jay and playboi woke us up the next morning when they had to head out for the airport. we went back to our hotel and slept most the day. like we literally didn't wake up again til 4 or 5 in the afternoon. WORTH IT.

we were starving when we woke up, so we decided to explore and walk around til we found some food. we ate giant burgers, found a fair, rode the ferris wheel, and sat by a lake just basking in the moonlight. it was such a calm night, but it was also such a perfect night.

Interlaken Switzerland.

just freaking LOOK at those hills/mountains/the green. gah. pictures don't do it justice.

gang gang gang

before

after. 
i still laugh just has hard as i did in the moment when i think about this happening.




our day was just go go go. we stayed in a hostel while we were there (just for one night) and we have no regrets with that decision. our train arrived, we taxi'd to drop our stuff off at the hotel, we walked to the bus and took it grindelwald to explore the swiss alps, and then we took another bus to lauterbrunnen where we explored some more and grabbed some dinner.





i'll be back for you interlaken.

Milan Italy


getting to milan was HECTIC as hell. we had a 7 am train to catch, but we had to stop by the airport first to pick up my lost luggage. we had asked diego to pick us up at 4 am to give us plenty of time (considering the airport was 1.5 hours away). we got to the hotel lobby 15 minutes late and diego was still no where to be found. we ended up having the receptionist at the desk give him a call and wake him up :( he drove us SO fast. he was going 180 down these windy roads and i swore we were going to die. he got us the the airport with plenty of time left over, however, the luggage lost and found didn't open til 8. GR8. so we headed to the train station, switched our tickets, went back to the airport and waited til 8, then went back to the train station to catch our train... this is where we also had to part ways with diego :(

bye papi. sad farewell. good pic.



we were only in milan for a day, but we had a fun day full of shopping, shooting for the hotel, and a fancy dinner.

the duomo was RIGHT outside our hotel.



these pictures were taken on the balcony attached to our hotel room. our hotel was absolutely stunning. 

fancy dinner hosted by our hotel.



our night ended with a bike ride around milan. even though we only had a day here, it was absolutely magical!
