Another Tuesday rolls around in all its unremarkable glory. You commute to work, do the groceries and postpone the gym yet again. You’re tired and need a holiday, but work and bills keep winning. You procrastinate by scrolling the ‘gram and realise that a certain celebrity is out there living your best life. They’re on your vacation, sipping your cocktail and watching your sunsets. In a burst of yolo adrenaline you realise it’s time to book A-grade accommodation like an A-list star. You deserve to live like your parallel-universe celebrity, your Hollywood holiday doppelgänger.

But who is it? And where to?

Choose your own adventure to find out…

 

Adventure one

Strolling sandy islands and paddle boarding into the sunset might be the summer-fantasy-norm for many but you dream of long walks towards penne arrabiata and moonlit cups of gelato. You’ll take in a cosy ristorante with a glass of sangiovese following your afternoon siesta and maybe just swipe the credit card at Dolce & Gabbana on the way home. This is La Dolce Vita, after all.

You come home with a million memories and only a few photos.

Your friends rent the house next door and life is good.
