Europe Travel Blog
Traveling to Europe? Or just simply daydreaming? Well, this page has all our travel blog posts about different destinations.
We took a break from blogging while we were traveling through Europe. This is because we hitchhiked, lived in tents, went from one festival to another on our friend’s campervan and ended up going to more countries that we had originally thought we will.
We are working towards building this section of our blog, so stay tuned and keep checking this page for more stories from our Euro trip. In case you are looking for information about a specific European destination, just let us know in the comments.
As of April 2017, we have permanently shifted our base to Europe (Germany) and are planning on visiting even more countries.
