On our first-ever European adventure, I made it a special point to include a visit to my longtime friend, Maya, who lives in the picturesque South of France. I have always been in awe of her relaxed lifestyle and the stunning natural beauty that surrounds her home, so I was eager to experience a little bit of that enchanting atmosphere for myself. She warmly welcomed us into her beautiful, inviting home, and together with her husband, Lenaic, they took us on a delightful journey exploring some of the cutest and most charming villages and towns around Provence. Our travels included picturesque spots like Buis-les-Baronnies, the gorgeous village of Gordes, historic Avignon, and several other hidden gems that left us captivated by the region’s timeless charm.
