From Delta One pampering at JFK to a chaotic EasyJet hop across Europe, the second leg of our 2024 Eurotrip was a whirlwind. We recharged in a capsule hotel at London Gatwick, navigated Italian trains and buses, and finally boarded a Royal Caribbean cruise from Ravenna. Along the way, there was pizza (of course), surprises, and the kind of travel chaos that makes for the best stories.

The first leg of our 2024 Eurotrip kicked off with a whirlwind layover in New York City. With just 10 hours to spare, we packed in iconic eats, meaningful moments at the 9/11 Memorial, and a few must-see sights—including that famous cookie. A quick taste of the city before jetting off to London, but just enough to feel the buzz of NYC under our feet.

Spent a few days in the Bay for Figma’s Config, but the real highlight was catching up with fellow Hawai‘i-raised designers now doing big things on the mainland. Nothing beats sharing laughs, stories, and drinks with people who just get where you’re from. Chee-Hoo!
