Loved this. And it reminded me of this advertisement campaign called ‘the time we have left’ - a powerful reminder to sometimes say f*ck it and meet the friend even if it’s a plane ride away and money’s a bit tight

Loved this tale! And love Rome! I need to go back. And totally appreciate smells working for some people better. Even when you’ve tried to copy. Xx

Loved this. This reminded me so much of a recent trip to Paris to meet a friend from NY. I had also recently lost my job - felt all the feels this gives you but I also said Fuck it and enjoyed 2 full days with my dearest friend. She gave me energy and light to fight another day! Thanks for sharing. I also love Rome so much. I bought my wedding dress from there when I was visiting with my Mum! So it holds special memories
