Fit Girl Summer: Mother-Daughter High School Graduation & Birthday Adventure Across Europe | Kiana Tom

This summer, my daughter and I celebrated her high school graduation and my birthday with an unforgettable 3-week European adventure — from France to Rome to the Greek Islands — in true Fit Girl Summer style. 💕 Luxury, wellness, family, and fitness combined for the trip of a lifetime!

First Class to France: Travel in Style

Our journey began first class with lay-flat seats and breathtaking views. We flew on what I believe was the Airbus A360-300, the largest passenger airplane in the world, featuring two levels, a private upstairs entrance, our own lounge, and even a personal waiter.

To add a fun twist, we were welcomed with Porsche gifts — ironic since I had just purchased my purple Porsche, inspired by the color I spotted at the Nürburgring in Germany (I’ve also had frozen berry pink and Maui blue — yes, I love bold colors!).

We relaxed in the American Express lounge, enjoyed cocktails (mocktail for my daughter), and savored every detail before touching down on the Côte d’Azur for our first stop: Nice, France.

Nice, France: Mediterranean Magic

We stayed at the charming Hotel Suisse, a boutique hotel perched on the Mediterranean. Our balcony overlooked the iconic boardwalk, and the hotel staff even carried our luggage up the stairs — a small touch that made a huge difference.

Highlights in Nice

• Flea Market Finds: My daughter and I explored a local flea market, discovering art and picking out matching bracelets.

• Delicious Food: Espresso croissants, truffle pasta, truffle pizza, and pavlova with fresh strawberries — indulgence at every meal.

• Fitness & Adventure: We logged 30,000 steps walking old town Nice and hiking Castle Hill (Colline du Château) for panoramic views.

• Breathtaking Architecture: Every corner of Europe amazed us. One of my favorite sculptures overlooked the sea — made by women, designed to protect fishermen. Walking these streets reminded me just how dramatic and awe-inspiring European architecture is compared to California’s commercial buildings.

Luxury Cruise Across the Côte d’Azur

Next, my daughter and I boarded the #1 luxury cruise ship in the world, where we enjoyed:

• Tee-offs on a floating driving range overlooking the Côte d’Azur

• Billion-dollar yachts and helicopters on deck 🚁⚓️

• Sun-soaked days and wellness activities onboard

This cruise was a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and mother-daughter bonding, all in true Fit Girl Summer fashion.
