The Butteriest Croissant in Latin Quarter — Paris, France

It was flaking in my hand before I made it out the door. The street was quiet. The espresso came in a cup barely bigger than my palm.
It wasn’t “the best” croissant in Paris. It was just mine — at the right time, on the right day.

Fig & Cheese Plate Overlooking Lake Como — Menaggio, Italy

No tablecloth. No menu. Just local figs, sharp cheese, a drizzle of honey, and a glass of wine that tasted like the breeze.
This wasn’t dinner. This was a pause. One I still want to go back to.

Street Tacos at Midnight — Tulum, Mexico

No napkins. Plastic chairs. The smell hit the second we turned the corner. Carne asada, hot lime, cilantro. I ate standing up. Salsa dripped. I’d fly back just for that moment.
