I love traveling in Europe because I get to see so many different cultures and enjoy the diversity Europe has to offer. As always, my trips start a bit chaotic.

For once I did not miss my flight, but it was delayed and I missed my connection in Munich to head to my first destination Albania, where I met with photographer and great friend Fadil Berisha to hand over my crown as Miss Universe Albania. I am sad, but also happy that I get to do plenty of other things now!

But … before I could do that, I had to get there! There were no more flights left and time was running out. I just decided that I was going to miss the show in Albania and was so disappointed and therefore booked a ticket to go to Zurich and see my family.

On the way to the plane I explained the situation to a friend who then became my savior. He took his private jet from London, picked me up in Munich and took me to Albania. I felt like I was in a movie! 

Happy Angela, J Me and my make-up artist Yuko Takahashi then went on to wait for him and got everything done on the plane and just got there at the end of the show … phewww!

Since I was already in Albania, I decided to stay and enjoy my beautiful home country! The people are so nice and humble and the scenery is indescribable.

From there, I went for a short visit to Zurich and then off to Florence for Fashion Week to do the Guess Show. Everywhere I go I see people that I know, my great friends Laura and Alice were here too! It was so good to see them!

After the show we hit the city, where the bridge is from the movie “The Perfume” (one of my favorites)! And I am telling you, Italian food is the best! After Florence, straight to Paris for the Launch party of Lovecat Mag.  When I got there I met up with my good photographer friend at my favorite place Café de Fleur. He gave me lots of good advice about my career and life, as he always does. He is my own little therapist.

Back at the hotel I met up with the publishers of Lovecat Magazine and then went on to their party at Le Baron Rouge before we hit the Theophilus London after party in an up and coming Paris neighborhood.

So many people from NYC were there and it felt like I was at home! The next night all of us hit the town and went to the club Pom Pon where my friend Prince Peter was DJ’ing!

Back in Zurich, I enjoyed some quality time with my family ― I am such a family person ― before I went back to my sweet home NYC, because NYC is where the love is!
