Sophie is a writer, Miami native, part-time Londoner, and travel-obsessed city girl. At Happy Hour with Sophie, we have fun (fun, I say!) and talk about travel like we're old girlfriends catching up over a cocktail or mocktail, instead of formalizing must-do recommendations for your destination (i.e., a bit boring, no?). Welcome, this round’s on me.

Paris is the queen bee of city girl destinations.

Paris is the queen bee of city girl destinations. She’s a love letter about slowing down and spending hours at a bistro (in a fabulous outfit) as much as it is about seeing the sights. Paris is the primadonna of all cities because it’s feminine, it’s Audrey Hepburn, and it’s all things romantic and beautiful. 🥖🍷💕
