Eight weeks ago, a friend and I flew over some snowy peaks in Turkey. Eight months ago, I could not have imagined myself writing this sentence.
Europe was always on the mind when I thought about travelling, but it was definitely something I thought I'd do in the distant future.
"Imagine sitting like this, only in Italy," aforementioned friend, Libby, nudged me gently as I sat lazily licking the hollandaise sauce off my eggs benedict. It was post-New Years', we were still on holiday, and we were allowed to dream. Dreams turned into a recurring discussion topic, add a visit to the travel expo, subtract some weeks from work and hey, I'd a plane ticket and a spot on Topdeck's European Odyssey.
Ever since I booked my trip, I've searched and read a lot of blogs on the tour, and general tips on Europe. They were certainly helpful, and I thought I'd pay it forward, writing my experience here. I hope it helps at least one person, and I hope it doesn't sound like a damn novel, I can get carried away writing sometimes . . .

I actually said "Imagine sitting like this, only in Paris." I was eating a galette at the time.
ReplyDeleteYou were eating a galette, yes, but we were sitting in an Italian restaurant, so I must've mixed those up, heh!
