"Babe, dinner’s ready!... Damn, there are so many mosquitoes..." I mumble the last part as I swat at the swarm buzzing around me. "Come quickly before it gets cold—and before the mosquitoes eat us alive!" I call out with a grin, watching her float in the lake, more relaxed than ever.

We’re living one of the best moments of our lives—or at least, I know I am. Now that the tour is finally over, I actually have the time to unwind and take a real vacation. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. A typical trip to some far-off destination felt too predictable—plus, I spend so much time flying during the tour that I just needed a break from airports.

That’s why renting a camper van seemed like the perfect idea.

Right now, we’re in Austria, with the goal of traveling across Europe in two months. It sounds like a lot, but with so many countries and places to explore, we’ll probably end up driving straight to our favorites.

This trip has been a true adventure, and we’re enjoying every second of it. Sure, it’s not the luxury of a five-star hotel like I’m used to, but honestly? This is so much better.

Finally, she sprints over to the picnic table we set up outside, her face full of regret—probably freezing her ass off. I laugh as I watch her shivering, hugging herself for warmth, and quickly grab a towel, wrapping it around her.

"The water’s freezing. I have no idea how you managed to get in."

She smiles at me, and I swear, despite the cold, it’s one of the most beautiful smiles I’ve ever seen.
