Here's a little breakdown of the cost of the trip: the trip includes 5 nights at two four star hotels, transport from the airport as well as transport to all of the activities that we'll be doing on the trip, a local city guide in Rome and a guide in Florence where we'll be touring a vineyard/farm and having a wine tasting. I believe at least 5 meals are included as well. I totally understand that the price might look crazy at first but this was quite literally the cheapest I was allowed to make it. I want the trip to be accessible for anyone interested and there are payment plans available so nobody has to pay the entire cost up front. Myself and the city guides will be taking care of all of the logistics so the trip should be as stress free as possible for everyone attending and I just think this is a really great opportunity to make community and travel with like minded individuals :)
Hey Lauren! I've actually had my eye on this. I am currently living in Rome and wouldn't need the transpos from the airport or the accommodation in Roma. Is there anyway I can get in touch with you about just paying for the guided stuff in Rome as well as the Florence part of the trip? tysm!
Would absolutely love if you posted a read with me style video? I love the ambiance you create and I can only imagine how that comforting and cozy essence would translate into a 30-60 minute video of you just hanging out, reading. Sending you love from NY 🖤
I dont normally comment, but Lauren I must say that I absolutely LOVE your vlogs, the aesthetics of your videos, and the beautiful ambient music!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You are amazing ❤
I must be the only one that dislikes the music and wish she would change it...i find it creepy and depressing...im trying to enjoy nonetheless but it does really bother me....
Please please release the reading list when it's done/after your trip ! I'm going to Italy in the summer and I'd love to get in the summer holiday mood
i would love a video with recipes from you! or a little section with a recipe on each video :-) love your content so much, it feels calming, inspiring and refreshing
It may be a totally cliché suggestion but “Call me by your name” is set in Italy and an amazing hot summer vacation read. I read it while travelling in Spain two years ago
I absolutely adore watching these vlogs; they’re so relaxing 💗 I would love to see your book collection! I’ve found some of my absolute favourites from your recommendations!!
I've been thinking about popping over to the thrift store all weekend and I'm taking your amazing thrift haul as a sign. Also your apartment is looking so cool!
Joni is so cute :) My little furry friend does the same - she wants to cuddle all the time or play or eat :D As a thrift shop addict I really enjoyed your little haul - black shoes are so beautiful ❤ And the new couch looks super cozy like a big cloud. Thanks for another great video Lauren!
I've been watching your videos religiously for months 🍃 after a long day I just drink my coffee and enjoy the little things you share with us, im really grateful because I leave your videos feeling better, like i spent some time with a friend 🤎 PD: Red looks amazing on you! now every time I see this color I think of you haha ⚘️
the lil catnip bubbles are honestly so great! i cat sit a lot for my best friend and her cats love them so much and keep them pretty chill! love your videos lauren, and loooove your apartment! :-)
I noticed a lot of influencers being sponsored to do trovatrips. Wonder if they’re a new travel company trying to spread the word (like Hello Fresh, Nord VPN, Audible, etc when they were up and coming).Hope you’ll record the trip! maybe I’ll consider signing up next year, if available ❤❤ love your vlogs🥰
I definitely know what you mean, before they reached out to me I was seeing trova all over social media. I'll absolutely be filming the whole thing and would love to have you join in the future!
this trip was 3k dollars for 6 days and international flights aren't included. Those 3000:6=500 dollars a day (plus flights). You can have your own trip for this crazy money that will be longer and better and probably still cheaper.
This is a bit off topic but i was wondering if you maybe have any tips on making friends in your late 20s? Your friends seems to be a big part of you life but you also seem to value your alone time and i would really want to get that balance right too :) always a pleasure to watch your vlogs
Ok I haven’t finished the video yet but Still Life by Sarah Winman HAS to go on your reading list!!! It’s so good and such an easy read and it’s just so wonderful, it takes place in Florence after WW2 and it’s very much slice of life
omg you don't understand how much I want to go to that trip 😭😭😭 wish I could afford it right now, you have to do another one in the future when I'm in my rich era!
I love your kitchen table and your couch is adorable and Joni is precious and I want that coffee maker that you have. Do you only drink decaf or is that just for like at night or like after a certain time when you still want coffee but you don't want the caffeine?
I have noticed, that you have great balance between introverted time at home and going outside/socializing. Is it natural for you, or you have to push yourself? BTW: Birkenstocks have special line for narrow feets.
I am going to visit Rome in september for my honeymoon but if it wasn't for the financial aspect(usually for me as a german it wouldn't be that expensive to travel to italy) I would've loved to join you on the trip , it sounds like a dream!!
Hi Lauren, curious where your chain is from? It’s beautiful!

Hi Lauren, do you have UA-camrs recommendations (except from Sarah Gray and Jenni Bourn)? I really like your vlogs and would love to watch similar videos 😊
Someone explained in another comment, she gets paid to go on the trip as she is the influencer, other people going cover her costs as part of the price they're paying.
The price includes accommodations at a hotel, an overnight stay and tour of a vineyard in Florence with a wine tasting, a local city guide that will be with us every day, all of our transportation while in Rome and a handful of meals at restaurants!
Maybe look into getting another cat around the same age as Joni. They can keep each other company while you study at home. At least for me, having two cats versus one doesn’t make much of a difference.

Thank you for breaking it down, that explains things a lot better, is it open to people from the UK ?
@@judithscott9145 yeah it's open to absolutely everyone! I'd love to have you join us

@@ImaniLove94 I'd love if you came! you can DM me on instagram (@bigbooklady) and we can chat more about the trip
it's always a good day when Lauren uploads
thank you for this very calming vlog Lauren : .. )

i would love to see a tattoo tour video with meanings, stories and so on about your tattoos! they look so cool
I dont normally comment, but Lauren I must say that I absolutely LOVE your vlogs, the aesthetics of your videos, and the beautiful ambient music!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You are amazing ❤
I must be the only one that dislikes the music and wish she would change it...i find it creepy and depressing...im trying to enjoy nonetheless but it does really bother me....
If it’s not on there already, completely recommend the Neapolitan quartet by Elena Ferrante for your Italy trip!
It is! one of my all time favourites :)

I was coming to comment the same 😂! Not cliche at all, it is an incredible work! ❤
LOVE your sofa!!!
Tree-cō (Tricot)....stellar thrift finds! You have such a good eye.

I also have the narrowest feet in the world. Birkenstock makes a custom narrow AA fit. I got some and they’re perfect!

oh my gosh i just realized by the intro that you watch moya as well!! i love that especially since i recently started watching you !
I found your channel recently and I must say I'm obsessed!!! so calming and comforting to watch ♥
The couch is gorgeous and it looks super comfy! I think red looks beautiful on you ❤
seeing you watching moya's yt videos makes me so happy ahh! like my two favorite creators on this platform having a mini crossover episode lol
That color looks stunning on you with the dark hair!!

i feel so so happy everytime you post ♥️
I love all the music! We need a Spotify playlist of the music you use for your videos ❤
The little noises Joni makes
Your videos are always so comforting to watch. Thank you so much for creating them
My cat does the same thing when I’m wfh or studying, can’t get anything done unless I go work at a coffee shop or library haha
Amazing thrift haul! You found so many great items!

I love the trip idea. I hope one day, if you plan it again, I can join. It sounds like such fun and it would be a great way to meet people.

Last Summer in the City by Gianfranco Calligarich (1970!) So good and it takes place in Rome
thank you so much!
Hey, Lauren! I love your dinner outfit and the red shirt is so beautiful 😍
Ok I haven’t finished the video yet but Still Life by Sarah Winman HAS to go on your reading list!!! It’s so good and such an easy read and it’s just so wonderful, it takes place in Florence after WW2 and it’s very much slice of life
thank you for much for the suggestion! that sounds perfect
I have narrow feet too. Birkenstocks make a narrow version of their shoes.
I just added Molly to my tbr after reading a review in the NYTimes! Can't wait to see what you think of it
omg you don't understand how much I want to go to that trip 😭😭😭 wish I could afford it right now, you have to do another one in the future when I'm in my rich era!
I would love if you could come! There's an option to pay in instalments if that helps. I just want everyone that's interested to be able to join :)
I hope you love your trip to Rome. My mother lives there. loved this vlog :)
Oh wow i love your vibe 🦋
Please tell me A Room with a View is on the reading list? It’s literally perfect for this
Lauren, where is that bookshelf in your living room from? I love it
Oooh where did you get your couch from?

I am trying to get back into ready after having spent so much time in research. Do you have any recommendations?
Stop I literally just bought that same bag of hot cereal and compliments craisins to eat with it lol
I love your kitchen table and your couch is adorable and Joni is precious and I want that coffee maker that you have. Do you only drink decaf or is that just for like at night or like after a certain time when you still want coffee but you don't want the caffeine?
Damn I hope you do another group vacation next year!
What hair dye do you use? Its such a perfect shade!

i love your videos sm.
Yes second this, I really need to know
where is this couch from!! It’s looks so comfy
Oh my goodness, where is that lovely couch from?
where'd you get that couch 🧐🤩
Where did you purchase your lounge? It looks amazing 🥺😍
Where is the couch from ?
its from komfi! komfi.ca/collections/puff-modular-collection/products/puff-sectional
Omg I actually work for TrovaTrip, I wanna come on your trip so bad!!!
Oh my gosh that's so cool! I would absolutely love if you came :)
I have noticed, that you have great balance between introverted time at home and going outside/socializing. Is it natural for you, or you have to push yourself? BTW: Birkenstocks have special line for narrow feets.
where's your couch from? i've been in the market for one for the longest time, and that couch seems to check all the right boxes!
where is your ball necklace from? it’s so cute
Where is your necklace in the beginning from !? I’ve been looking for something just like that ❤❤
I am going to visit Rome in september for my honeymoon but if it wasn't for the financial aspect(usually for me as a german it wouldn't be that expensive to travel to italy) I would've loved to join you on the trip , it sounds like a dream!!
Ehi Lauren, I'm Italian, can I come and say hi?
Is there a formula to join for part of the trip?
😊
ahh i’m going to italy in june ! but would have loved to go with you! hopefully it’s the first of many trips
I hope you have a great time and yes I'm really hoping to host another one in the future
what brand are your penny loafers? i’ve been looking for a pair but not sure which are most comfy, love yours !
the thrift haul
please show us your books for europe trip. i want to read them too : )
How in the world do you find pants that fit that beautifully at the thrift store when you can't even try them on?!? Amazing
Black jacket is fire.
Tricot in french is pronounced "tree-koh" hehe :)
Lmk if you need recommendations for the best places in Florence:))
yes please! I would love any restaurant, book shop or fun activity recommendations that you've got
I noticed you posted this pretty late. Looks like we're both night owls! :)
Hi Lauren, curious where your chain is from? It’s beautiful!

How do you afford university plus living solo and now a European vacation?
Being an influencer
Someone explained in another comment, she gets paid to go on the trip as she is the influencer, other people going cover her costs as part of the price they're paying.
love❤
3k for 6 days?! Excl flights and food? I could fly to italy for €50 Love you but i’m sorry
I’m also really curious how the price is built up haha
Exactly i'm italian and 6 days here DO NOT cost 3k trust me. I spent 600 for 10 days in rome (flight, rented car and food included)
I mean flights would be a lot more expensive if she’s living in America/Canada but still 3k… that’s so much
It says flights are excluded from the price! So thats why im extra curious
The price includes accommodations at a hotel, an overnight stay and tour of a vineyard in Florence with a wine tasting, a local city guide that will be with us every day, all of our transportation while in Rome and a handful of meals at restaurants!
You should get your cat a sister!
Maybe look into getting another cat around the same age as Joni. They can keep each other company while you study at home. At least for me, having two cats versus one doesn’t make much of a difference.
Normal people and safe place
Sounds like Joni needs a friend! Or maybe to have access outside
you kinda got a lorelai vibe going on lol
