Welcome to Montenegro 🇲🇪

Very excited to share tips about this beautiful country on my feed! 🥰
First, here's a few things you should know before visiting Montenegro:

🇲🇪 Montenegro only became a country in 2006, making it one of Europe's youngest countries.
🇲🇪 The currency used there is the Euro. Many businesses are still cash only, so make sure to have some cash with you. Withdrawing money from an ATM, even from a Euro account, comes with a small bank fee.
🇲🇪 Many people can speak a little English (enough to get by and order at restaurants), but some people won't speak any English at all. It's nice to have a note on your phone with a few words of Montenegrin!
🇲🇪 Montenegro is 80% mountains, creating stunning, dramatic landscapes throughout the country.
🇲🇪 Renting a car to explore the national parks is the best way to explore Montenegro.
🇲🇪 Food-wise, there are many grilled meat dishes, sea food, pasta dishes. Rakija is the local liquor. Montenegro has great coffee!

Sometimes, you need to go out of your own way to be happy. ☀️

It's easier to turn out the TV and spend hours watching a show, than to get ready to go on a walk outside. It's easier to be on TikTok (or Instagram!) than to get out paint or drawing materials and express your creativity on paper. It's easier to stay in your lane than to reach out to people and make meaningful connections.
Find out the things that make your life richer, and make time and effort for them. More often than not, you won't regret it. Invest in your happiness. 🤍

This reminder is for all of you who, like me, can sometimes stay in their comfort zone so they don't get disappointed - in themselves or in others. We've got this! 🤗

All you need to know to visit Kew Gardens, London

All you need to know to visit Kew Gardens, London 🇬🇧🌿

Kew Gardens make for a wonderful half-day trip from London. They are among the best botanical gardens I've seen!

🌴What you shouldn't miss in Kew Gardens:
- the daffodil patches in the spring
- the Palm House and its stunning architecture
- the Treetop Walkway
- Chokushi-Mon and the Japanese gardens, especially in April when the cherry blossoms are blooming
- the Waterlily house with its giant waterlilies
- the greenhouse species at the Princess of Wales Conservatory

🌷Of course depending on the season, different flowers will be in bloom!
🍽️ There are several places to eat at Kew.

🎟️ Buy your tickets online in advance. You can add a visit to the Great Pagoda for an extra fee, but honestly it's not really worth it. There is nothing inside, and the views from the Treetop Walkway are better.
🏰 Kew Palace and the King's Observatory are also in Kew Gardens, but you can visit with a different ticket. If you're a Bridgerton fan, you may want to go! 😏

🚊 Kew Gardens is located in Richmond, west of London. Getting there takes some time from Central London so be prepared!
Even better, turn your expedition to Kew Gardens into a whole day trip including Richmond and Richmond Park!

✔️ Save this post to plan your visit to Kew Gardens! 🌿

Want to see more of France than Paris? I've got

Want to see more of France than Paris?
I've got you sorted! 🇨🇵

While Paris is absolutely unique and deserves to be seen at least once, if not several times, there might be a point where you think that you've seen it all!

So here is my suggestion: visit some of France's small hidden gem towns! 🥰
France is home to some of the most beautiful towns and villages I've visited. Here are some recommendations:

🌿 Semur-en-Auxois, in Burgundy
⚔️ Provins, in Seine et Marne
⛲ Eguisheim, Riquewihr and Colmar, in Alsace
🪻 Senlis, in Picardie
🏰 Najac, Bruniquel and Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, in Tarn-et-Garonne

There are many, many more!
Should I do a comprehensive list of all the beautiful villages you can see in France? 🥰

✔️ Save this post for your future trip to France! 🇫🇷
