HI EVERYONE!!! It’s Olivia, reporting to you live from Amsterdam! 🇳🇱 

Alex and I have hit Dublin, Galway, and London so far, and we’re enjoying a couple of days in the Netherlands before rounding out the trip in Germany. We’ve been having a jolly good time, but a few things are on my mind after being away from home for the last week and a half…

1. There’s no place like home. Nothing compares to sleeping in your own bed (with your pets).

2. There’s no place like NASHVILLE. We’ve seen some amazing cities, but I still believe Nashville is the best in the world.

3. There’s something sacred in routine. Even though I haven’t been at Do615 for long, I’ve already fallen in love with the ritual of writing y’all every day, and I’m really looking forward to getting back to it.

That said, I’m super grateful for the chance to have a chat with you today. So without further ado, let’s get into it!
