Audrey Hepburn. When I hear those words, my mind fills with a bright, comfortable and warm feeling.

To say that I truly admire her is purely an understatement. Audrey was more than just an actress, dancer, fashion icon. She was famous for her soul, her mind and her humanity. Audrey treated everyone with equality, love and care. Her films showcase true hard-work, passion and strength. Each and every interview she was in — you got a chance to really view the type of person she was. Audrey Hepburn will forever be my favourite icon.

Today is her birthday and I believe that she should not only be celebrated and appreciated today, but every day. For she left us with her talent, memories and humanity. And for that I want to thank her. Thank you Audrey Hepburn. Thank you for leaving an extraordinary mark on the world. Thank you for leaving your movies, interviews, fashion inspirations and most importantly — thank you for leaving us hope. Hope, that we as human beings can save this world, and the people in it. Hope that, no matter where you come from, how big or how small, that you are capable of anything. That you are loved. That you are important. Thank you. Happy Birthday to my favourite idol❤️

As a sidenote — the documentary on Netflix “Audrey” is a brilliant and delicate portrait of Audrey’s life story and struggles. If you have access to it, do yourself a favour and view it. You will learn some things about Audrey, life and yourself.

Here are photos from time spent in Rome, Florence, Venice, Capri, Sorrento, Naples, Bologna and Padua. To say this trip was a dream would truly be an understatement. The people, culture, food, language, traditions, personalities and hidden gems blew my mind. The small things like walking down the streets of Capri while smelling fresh lemons— even the way the sun feels on my skin while I take a morning stroll to grab a cappuccino and pastry. It’s insanity to comprehend that there is a whole other world out there. This is why I love travelling, we get a chance to see the other ways of life. We get to see where they come from, how they live, what they eat, how they travel to other cities, what they wear etc. It was such a beautiful and heartfelt experience and I will never forget it.

Enjoy these mementos! If you haven’t visited Italy yet — you need to experience the magic for yourself!
