Our most memorable stories often begin with a bizarre plan and almost no notice at all.

The hostel looked so fun and vintage, nothing like the road that led you there. Maybe someday, when I find myself around and know of this deserted hostel hidden in the mountains, far away from the crowds, I’ll remember this blog and smile, who knows!!

Thanks for the great words, Anjali, and for reading! Agreee with you, bizarre plans are the best plans ;)

Oh man, I've been there (well, not to that specific monastery hostel outside Florence, but to the place where you accidentally book a room somewhere far from where you intended and it ends up being magical).

I see it as a reminder that sometimes you're supposed to end up somewhere different from where you think you need to be.

I love to hear that something similar happened to you, Maria! Indeed sometimes we are meant to end up somewhere different than we thought. Thanks for reading and for taking the time to leave a note ✨✨
