Finally made it to Day 10 and it’s our last day

Finally made it to Day 10 and it’s our last day in France!

Not going to lie, Courchevel the day before pretty much wrecked my friend and I so we wanted to keep this day as chill as possible.

Also, by the time we got to the mountain, all of the runs were pretty tracked out so it was really difficult to go fast anywhere.

Instead, we decided to enjoy the sunshine and eat lunch on the mountain at this cute restaurant called Le Comptoir. Definitely stop by if you’re looking for some reasonable French food and great views.

For dinner, we went back to Barometer. We wanted to eat there the night before but they were fully booked so we made a reservation for the next night.

It was surprisingly a really solid meal. I was probably most impressed by the salad. I forgot what it was called but it had some sort of fish as the protein and some horseradish dressing. It was really really good!

I know our last day in France wasn’t the most epic, but to be honest, we were tired and we had to catch a 5:00 am bus to the airport the next morning.

Ok that’s it for now! See you on the next reel!

NOTHING BETTER than having it snow all night and then waking up to a blue sky day!

The whole week we were in France, it didn’t snow until the 2nd to last night that we were there.

Luckily, it snowed all night and cleared up the next day! It was absolutely gorgeous on and off the mountain.

Day 9 was seriously just an eating and drinking da

Day 9 was seriously just an eating and drinking day. We did make it over to Courchevel side which pretty much beat us down.

We got drinks at Le Cap Horn which was pretty expensive at around 20-25 euros a drink. Ouch. But at least we got to see Jack Sparrow!

After the slopes, we went to Barometer to grab a quick drink and get a shot of génépi that was recommended to us from a person that we met at Le Cap Horn.

The shot wasn’t too expensive at about 4 euros and it was a pretty decent aperitif if you are looking for one.

It was still pretty early so we decided to find some cheese fondue because how can you come to the French CB Alps and not get fondue?

We went early enough to Les Coursive des Alpes to grab a seat and got their cheese fondue which cost us 26 euros. We were lucky to get in since you usually need a reservation since it’s a Michelin-rated restaurant.

For dinner, we went to Le Resto du Savoy which was this super cozy winter chalet looking restaurant.

Now, I usually don’t get gnocchi but it I decided to try it and was SO GLAD I did. They crisped up the gnocchi so it had a crunch to it and the mushrooms were amazing!

For desert, we had the tarte tatin but wished it came with more ice cream. It was also kind of expensive at 26 euros I believe, but it was made to order at least.

The night ended with a snow storm coming through so hopefully we’ll have a great pow day tomorrow!

I know it’s CRAZY to quit your job and then deci

I know it’s CRAZY to quit your job and then decide to snowboard around the world for a couple months.

But in my mind, I don’t think I will have the energy or the strength to want to do this by the time I’m retired.

I figured I’m young and can enjoy adventures like this now more so than when I’m older. I don’t want to ever look back wishing I did that or did this.

Also, I’m doing most of this trip solo so that’s another thing. I know most of friends can’t get the time off but I was never the type of person to wait either.

If I waited my whole life, I wouldn’t have done 5% of what I’ve done.

So, for this trip, I’m starting out in France, traveling to Finland, then hopping over to Japan. If you have an adventurous heart, I hope you’ll follow my journey through Instagram.

Also, don’t be afraid to ask questions! Hopefully, I can be a resource to all of you 💕

On Day 8 of my Snowboarding Around the World Trip!

On Day 8 of my Snowboarding Around the World Trip! I know I’m falling behind on my posting but I should be able to catch up soon!

This was New Year’s Day and we were definitely taking it easy today since we were slightly recovering from après ski yesterday.

Val Thorens was HUGE! Uggghhhhhh we seriously didn’t have time to explore at all. We probably did 2 full runs and then had to head back to Méribel.

For pre-dinner drinks, we went to La Copina in Méribel Center. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for creative cocktails and reasonably-priced wines.

For dinner, since this was our first night really out in the town, we decided to splurge a little and get traditional French Savoyard food at Le Close-Up. Also, I really wanted my friend to try the tartiflette hahaha.

Le Close-Up is also a great place if you want to be entertained. They have games for you to play at the table while you wait for your food. Also, at the end, one of the staff members did a couple magic card tricks for us which was super fun!

Day 7 of my “Snowboarding Around the World” tr

Day 7 of my “Snowboarding Around the World” trip was funny enough, less about snowboarding and more about après ski.

I have seen @foliedoucemeribel on my Instagram for the past year so I knew I had to visit once I got to @les3vallees_officiel!

If you are coming from Méribel, you’ll want to take the Saulire Express 2 lift up and La Folie Douce is at the midway point up. You can get off there or you can ride to the top where @panoramic__courchevel is located.

Le Panoramic is where we had that first cocktail with those amazing views. Then we boarded down to @foliedoucemeribel around 2:00 pm.

My friend and I got a bottle of rosé to share for 65 euros which wasn’t too bad considering it was New Year’s Eve.

If you’re deciding between the La Folie Douce in Méribel or Val Thorens, I personally like the Méribel one more just because it was bigger but both are a great time regardless of where you are!

Day 6 of my Snowboarding Around the World trip and

Day 6 of my Snowboarding Around the World trip and we’re finally heading up the mountain today at Les 3 Vallées.

For my Epic Pass holders, you will have to go to the ticket window and show them your Epic Pass (which is now on the Epic App on your phones).

Show them your Epic Pass and they’ll give you a ski pass specifically for Les 3 Vallées that you will use instead of your Epic Pass.

Since we were staying in Méribel, the ticket office that you want to go to is in the Télécabine de Tougnete building. Also, you have to exchange it at the outside window. We first went inside and then they told us that we had to go to the outside window.

For snowboarding, we pretty much stayed on the side of Saint Martin de Belleville since it was on the sunny south-facing side. We then spent most of the day heading back to Méribel,

KEEP IN MIND: The runs at Les 3 Vallées are LONGGGGGGGGHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Like it will take you all day to get back to wherever you came from. This was especially true for us since we started so late. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time because you don’t want to be tired at the end of the day.

YES! We’ve all been there! Sometimes you spend a lot and sometimes you have to save hahaha.

The easiest way to save money is to pack your own food and drink and then just eat it on the mountain.

Don’t get me wrong… I love a good sit-down restaurant for lunch when I’m snowboarding but only if it’s worth it.

I hate spending $20-$25 on a subpar burger or chicken tender and fried you know?!

I rather save that money and then spend hit on a good dinner. Who’s with me lol?!

It’s Day 5 of my Snowboarding Around the World t

It’s Day 5 of my Snowboarding Around the World trip and we are in Les 3 Vallées!

Specifically, I’m staying in the town of Méribel Center because it’s in the middle valley so I’ll have access to all three valleys easily.

The other location I was looking at was Méribel-Mottaret which is higher up on the mountain. The people of Reddit said it’s a better place if you want to get to the slopes fast and Méribel Center is good if you want easy access to restaurants and bars.

To be honest, Méribel Center was perfect for our first time. I thought there would only be one lift up but there are MANY lifts that go to each side of the mountain.

Also, if you want a great map, download the Les 3 Vallées map. It’s MUCH better than what Google shows you.

Since this was my first day, I decided to take it easy and spend it grocery shopping and catching up on Instagram work.

Alcohol prices are definitely more expensive than the U.S. Grey Goose is coming it at around 53 euros when I can probably get that for $20 at a Ralph’s.

For our 7 days of groceries, we bought enough for breakfast and lunch everyday along with a few bottles of wine and a bottle of Absolut. We probably spent somewhere around $250-$300 for my friend and I.

The restaurant at the end of reel is called L’Igloo and it’s in Méribel Center. Cool place for drinks. They also do takeout pizza for about 20 euros if you don’t want to cook one day.
