Europe

My personal favorite continent! You can do it all in Europe; journey through medieval cities, pristine coastlines, snow covered Alps, fairytale villages, grand castles, famous museums, ancient ruins and more.

In 2022 and 2023 I spent 2+ months each year exploring European destinations. The posts below are from my personal travel experiences.
