The "Anna" actress is no stranger to traveling around the world, only this time, she is making sure to stop and smell the roses. She's even taking a selfie with them! In her latest Instagram post, she explained how she is reminding herself to be "grateful" for all of her experiences.

"I’m in the middle of a whirlwind tour of Central Europe. Every day is exciting and full of events from morning to night, there are photo shoots and interviews and book signings, people to meet and greet, smiles and handshakes and hugs to dispense, and it’s all glorious, but, it’s also like trying to enjoy the art in a museum by speeding down the hallways on a motorcycle," she wrote in the caption of her post.

"There is no such thing as a day off. Every day is a workload of at least 12 hours. And it’s packing and unpacking and changing cities and hotels - sometimes daily. And I’m asked how I’m managing to expend all this energy every day without having a chance to refuel," she explained. "The answer is simple, although it took me a little while to formulate it in my mind. Gratitude."

"When I was younger, I took all of this for granted. The attention, the lovely places I got to visit, and the people I met. I think this is youth. You move through the world living new experiences without realizing how fleeting special moments are," she wrote. "You think they will last forever. With age, you know to linger in them. Appreciate them. Be grateful for them."

"Gratitude sparks joy, which in turn creates more gratitude. Which creates more joy. So it’s a perpetual motion machine. I did not actually have the time to stop and smell the roses. Just enough time to smell one, and take a selfie," she concluded. "But it was a moment of conscious joy, for which I’m grateful, and so I wake up tired and puffy-eyed, but with a smile."

In another Instagram post, Paulina did not seem too happy as Jeff pointed at her face. A small red mark is clearly visible on the side of her cheek, but would most likely have gone unnoticed if she didn't call attention to it.

This time, Paulina kept her caption short, writing, “Is that a PIMPLE? Yes, indeed. Maybe because I’m feeling the teenage butterflies all over again. But this time, I’m not afraid it will ruin my night.”

Jeff commented on her post, writing, “Maybe I kissed that cheek too much.” Paulina responded, “I’d better turn the other cheek.” One fan commented, “That’s a good problem to have” while another follower wrote, “Get a room you two…”

This Is Jeff's First Time In Central Europe!

In yet another Instagram post, Paulina cuddled up beside her new beau as they smiled for a photo inside what looked to be an airport. "Taking my man to my homeland. First time for him in central Europe, and first time for both of us in Bratislava," she wrote in the caption. "I’m afraid the next few weeks will be just a long display of us being cute in Czechia. My apologies. But not really."

Fans absolutely love to see their relationship. Artist Quinn Cummings commented, “I won’t speak for your smile but I have never, never, NOT ONCE, seen that smile on Jeff. It’s like that dream where you find a new door in your house, you open it, and discover, 'Wait; I have a ballroom?' This is a gilded dream ballroom of a smile, and the world is shinier for it.”
