- I spent a couple of days in Saint-Jean-de-Luz on the coast of France. This is probably one of the prettiest places in France, with beautiful beaches overlooked by the mountains in the background, a bustling historical center, and gorgeous nature.
I went there on a mini solo writing retreat and it was just wonderful. This was part of the 1000 Words of Summer challenge I attempted in June, when I wrote 1000 words a day for two weeks.

Hope you enjoyed this little getaway in Saint-Jean-de-Luz! Have you been? Have you ever done a solo writing retreat or something similar?
Thank you for sharing your retreat with us. I watched this in the morning, while I was getting ready for my day. It gave me such a sense of calm, and I feel like I'm on the path to a lovely, peaceful day. I especially enjoyed the music you chose and your calm, soft tone of voice. Just wonderful!
Ooow thank you so much 🥺💛 for watching, for commenting and for the lovely feedback! It makes me *so* happy to hear, it was exactly what I hoped this video to achieve. I hope the rest of your day lived up to that peaceful start!

Everything is so pretty there!!! I haven’t been to that town, but I’ve been to Bilbao a couple of times and to the coast in that area, also Basque country, and it’s the most beautiful place I know. I love the beaches there and the hills and the houses and it’s just so so lush! And such good food! You did so good filming everything, and writing. And walking! I love the rain clouds as well, I think a cloudy sky is just so dramatic and impressive, especially with the sea like that. Beautiful vlog. Thoroughly enjoyed! Highly recommend, 5 stars 🌟
Thanks, really glad you liked it ^^ It was such a nice video to make, with such beautiful scenery
One thing I loooove about Europe is how easy it is to travel all around! 🥰 THANK you for taking us with you because otherwise... I wouldn't have the experience of this 🥹 The coast, the wind, the colors. EVERYTHING's so gorgeous. I love that you made this retreat for you to focus on writing too. Writing on your phone though?? It kind of bring me back when I was younger... I seriously wrote like 1000s of words on the flip phone with the number pads 💀 You just brought back a memory... I can't believe I did that. Love that you did this trip, it seemed like you were super productive and had an awesome time!
Yeah, happy you liked it ^^ It was truly gorgeous, I feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful region and to be able to do little spontaneous trips like these (I use the plural because I really hope to do it again!) Ahaha, yeah, writing on my phone is for sure not my favorite method, but I was surprised at the results - I was more productive than expected!
@@Curious-Cat Yesss! Do more of these trips in the future. I'd love to be able to experience it with you 🥰
I absolutely love that you went on a writing retreat. I have thought about doing something similar but I need to just plan it and do it!!
Do it, do it, do it! It's sooo worth it!
I love that you "took us along with you" in a sense. It was such a beautiful vlog. One of my fav songs was in your video soundtrack and it made me wonder...do you create writing soundtracks?
Nice! Which song is it? I usually prefer to write in silence, I don't really listen to music, so I don't create writing soundtracks, but I know some people do, which I find fascinating ^^
Gymnopedie no 1 by Satie....but the whole soundtrack to your video felt very Amelie Poulin to me. 💖
