Name: Alice Tate
Occupation: Lifestyle journalist
Travel destination: Hvar, Croatia
Carry-on necessities: MenScience Lip Balm and my Master & Dynamic headphones
Reading materials: Sidewalk magazine—the only thing on my boyfriend's iPad
Most over-played tracks on your iPhone this trip: Little White Earbuds Prosumer Podcast on repeat. All fortnight
Favorite outfit to travel in: A barely-there silk romper and anything that is super easy in summer heat
Highlight of your trip: Getting lost at dusk in the cobbled backstreets before stumbling upon a tiny, family-run restaurant with a gorgeous jungle-like courtyard. We peeled the shells off garlicky king prawns, filled up on seafood risotto, and drank endless amounts of vino before rolling out of there to admire the superyachts in the marina.
Souvenirs you brought back: Croatian wine—at 5 euros for a liter.

The prettiest sun trap you ever saw? Found on Palmižana, an island off of Hvar. I want to camp out under that and watch the stars.

I could live in those crystal waters.

Getting lost high up in the wilderness of the hills.

Obligatory post-swim selfie (from me at least).

When there's Prosecco at the breakfast table, there are huge, huge smiles.
