I put together a full 10 day south of France itinerary to help you plan the perfect trip. From Provence to the French Riviera, this is one of the most charming regions of France 🇫🇷

We used Aix-en-Provence and Villefranche-sur-Mer as our bases to explore the region, and it was the perfect way to do our trip.

You can’t miss:
- Menton
- The Verdon Gorge
- Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
- Gordes
- Antibes
- Villefranche-sur-Mer

And there are soooo many more amazing little gems along the coast and in Provence you can’t miss on your trip to the South of France 🍋

An easy to replicate (and book) 10 day South Afric An easy to replicate (and book) 10 day South Africa itinerary 👇 

There’s a common misconception that you have to book a ‘safari trip package’ to visit somewhere like South Africa. 

But in reality, it’s not that difficult to entirely plan your own trip and visit both the Western Cape and go on safari in South Africa 🐘 

I wrote a 10 day itinerary that helps you do just that:
- fly into Cape Town ✈️ 
- Days 1-5: Cape Town ☀️ 
- Days 5-10: Kruger National Park 🦁 
- fly home 🛫

It’s a simple itinerary, but nothing about this trip is boring!!

Comment ‘itinerary’ and I’ll send you the full and FREE itinerary with hotel recs, things to do in Cape Town, details on how to get around, and more.

Here is how I’d spend a week in Portugal 🌞 
Day 1: Porto 💃 
Day 2: Douro Valley 🍇 
Days 3&4: Lisbon ☀️ 
Day 5: Lisbon or day trip to Sintra 🏰 
Day 6: Cascais 🏖️ 
Day 7: Cascais & back to Lisbon 🐚 

A week in Portugal is enough to get a good feel for this incredible country, but if you have more time head south to the Algarve or hop over to the island of Madeira!

I never thought I’d get to see this on safari 🐊 I never thought I’d get to see this on safari 🐊 

On our last full day on safari, we witnessed a truly National Geographic type moment. As we ate breakfast on the Luvuvhu River in Kruger, we saw a successful crocodile hunt 😮

It was a safari experience I didn’t expect but I’m so glad we had. And that’s what staying along the river will get you!

🚨 the resort we stayed at in this video was affected by the January 2026 flooding in Kruger NP. The lodge is currently closed, but set to reopen in the future.

I don’t just like to travel, I think it’s absolute I don’t just like to travel, I think it’s absolutely essential.

The more I’ve traveled, whether it’s to far off places or simply the other side of town, the more I’ve learned. Learned humility, compassion, empathy, patience, trust. 

I’ve learned to question my own preconceived notions, my prejudices, my assumptions.

It’s taught me to be grateful for home, and to criticize it when it truly falls short. 

Travel forces me to remove myself from the center, and see other people as equally important. 

A common thought I have while traveling is ‘Wow, all these people are the center of their own worlds. Have their own hopes, dreams, families, careers, fears, and realities.’ But it doesn’t make me see them as enemies. It causes me to have compassion.

Travel has taught me history, and from that history I’ve learned a lot. I’ve seen how history is written by the victors. I’ve also learned a lot of history I don’t want to see repeated. 

Travel causes me question the norms I think define the world. Encountering a culture who values vastly different things or structures their society in a way that’s different to mine. Maybe there is more than one way to do things?

Mostly, travel teaches me to zoom out, see the bigger picture, and reiterates the commandment from my God to LOVE MY NEIGHBOR AS MYSELF.

That’s why I travel. It’s why I encourage you to travel. Because when we do, we become better equipped to love those around us. 

*And if international travel isn’t accessible to you, there are no excuses. You can travel to a different neighborhood in your own city. Meet someone who lives a different life. Ask them questions. Be open to their answers. Be curious, teachable, and humble.
Why should you stay along a river for safari? 🦛 1 Why should you stay along a river for safari? 🦛

1. The animals are abundant - rivers are full of life and are often where a lot of action happens. Whether it’s crocodiles hunting down a meal, elephants bathing, or buffalo grazing there is always something to see 🐒 

2. The views! Riverside views are amazing to wake up to, and it gives you a really unique perspective of the bush 🐃

3. Lush greens - when the rest of the bush is dormant in winter, the riverbanks stay green and lush 🌿

4. Unique animal sightings - I would never have seen crocodiles take down an antelope in front of my tent if we were not staying on the river. Some experienced and sightings happen exclusively in the river 🐊

What camera + lenses to bring on safari 📸 🦁 ⬇️ I What camera + lenses to bring on safari 📸 🦁 ⬇️ 

I did a lot of research prior to leaving for our safari in South Africa to figure out what lenses to bring. I wanted a light, efficient camera setup that would capture any moment of our trip.

When it comes to which lens is right for you on safari, consider size, weight, focal length, and overall versatility. But also keep in mind the landscape, what time of day you’ll be out and the subsequent light or lack thereof, and what animals you’re wanting to capture.

In the end, I decided on bringing the @sonyalpha 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS (rented from @lensrentals ) as my primary safari lens. Secondarily I brought my @sigmaphoto 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens for our time in Cape Town and anything on safari where 100mm+ would be too much.

Both lenses were mounted on my @sonyalpha a7riii 📸 

The last thing I brought was an old point and shoot film camera for some more casual memories and I’m so glad I did! 

Camera body: Sony a7riii
Lenses: Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6, Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8
Film: Olympus Infinity (AF-1) + Kodak Gold 200
