Field Notes: May, 2026
Honest thoughts on Corsica, new French Riviera openings, and where I'm headed this summer
Welcome to this month’s edition of Field Notes, where I share what’s on my radar, where I’m traveling to, and what’s inspiring me right now.
Hello Friends!
I’m just back from our trip to Corsica, with a quick pre-trip stop in Marseille to hang out with some friends visiting from Amsterdam. Marseille was amazing, every time I’m there I wonder if I should have moved there instead of Nice. The food scene is awesome, the city has such a friendly, energetic vibe, it really makes Nice feel like a retirement home 😂.
After two days in Marseille, we took the ferry over to Corsica. I’ve been dreaming of visiting Corsica for a few years now, and the island is undeniably beautiful, but unfortunately, our trip ended up being a bit disappointing.
