May 2026 Vol. Nº30
Spring has claimed its place in the month of May. There is no more tug of war between winter-esqu mornings and spring inspired afternoons. It has arrived. And with it comes a sense of hope and peace. There is a calmness that rests on the season and yet beneath the tranquility lies bold vibrance and a sense of courage. Spring, to me, is a season of courage. Courage to not only survive but to thrive. Against all odds, through late season frosts and unexpected April snow, the birds and flowers continue to make their own way. They know that through the chaos and growing pains, something better is just around the corner. It is a true lesson. A lesson of perseverance and trust. A reminder that while delicate and tender, we are strong and more capable than we think. Xx

Twenty Hours at Dromoland Castle. A fairytale brought to life, this 16th century castle with endless parklands and stunning woodlands was the taste of spring I so desperately needed. With elegant dining rooms and impossibly inviting decor, it seems my time there was straight out of an oil painting.
If I were a Boutique Hotel. From leopard print sprinkled here there and everywhere to the coziest corners meant for cups of tea and novels, it was love at first sight.
Spring is the season that inspires big dreams and even bigger transitions. From the end of an iconic chapter to a taste of European adventure, the May articles of Le Supper Club are a reflection of all that is possible.
Ciao La Boîte à Bijou - A Tablescape of Memories
Leaving behind something that you love might be one of the most complicated pains I have experienced. It sits heavily and with confusion on one’s heart. A question of ‘what have I done?’ lingering there, even if for only a moment, but just long enough to make you question everything you thought was right. I think it is more fear than pain, occurring in conjunction with big life transitions, but as this feeling bubbles up, it sure feels like pain. I have felt this familiar sharp pang with the conclusion of relationships, I felt it when I first left Portland to move to Los Angeles, after altering a career path that I thought I would never leave, and most recently, I felt it when I moved out of my beloved apartment. Ultimately there is this sense of excitement around the possibilities of a new chapter, the thrill of the unknown and the promise of something better. And yet, the twinge of fear, the questions of ‘did I make the right choice?’, the anxiety of the unfamiliar and the worry that it will not in fact be okay, it is all so deeply palpable. I think most associate this feeling with heart break, walking away from a toxic relationship or maybe a ‘good’ job, but there is a whole world where this feeling fits perfectly into and yet is left unnoticed, or at least undiscussed. That is where I was about a month ago. A world of fear and doubt and heartache over something that I was saying goodbye to and yet still loved. An apartment.
Twenty-Four Hours in Lucca and Pisa, Italy
Travel is my most favorite luxury. The ability to wander and explore. The chance to indulge in new foods and flavors and to step into remnants of worlds that have been preserved and looked after for centuries, it is such a wonderful thing to experience. I am lucky to spend nearly half of my life traveling. It is wildly enriching and I know how fortunate I am… I have a pay the bills job that takes me all over the world. A gift in the form of a career – it feels impossibly charmed. And yet it is still a job. I travel to wondrous places, but often, I am only there for a sliver of time. Within the chaos of my travel schedule, however, I am resolute in making the most of each and every opportunity. I have been honing the art of simple enjoyment for years now within the ideals of Le Supper Club and I have absolutely applied that mindset to my adventures. Determined to explore all that I can and soak up every last bit of new and wondrous places, I set out to see the cities I visit to their fullest. Or at least to my fullest.
Two Days in Palma de Mallorca
I used to think that travel was only possible in long stretches of time. And though that is absolutely ideal, travel, I have learned, is more about mindset than time. For a city explored with intention in two days is just as magical and eye opening as a week long adventure. Impossible as it is to truly explore an entire city in a mere two days, it is still enough time to gain an insight to the heart of the city and fall in love with exploring winding streets and sidewalk cafés. The trick is to approach it in a Le Supper Club fashion… It doesn't have to be everything and everywhere, you simply choose to treat it like a slice of something special and make the very most of it. Remove the pressures to do it all. Instead pick a couple of activities and a few restaurants that you are excited to try. Make sure you have time for ample wandering, as stumbling upon hidden gems is my favorite part, and be sure to indulge in café culture. This is my favorite way to explore and take in a city – whether it be for two days or two weeks, finding the pulse of the city, discovering the way it moves and breathes, that is the best way to get the most out of your experience, no matter the duration or destination. This is the art of traveling.
