The Best of Europe [Travel Blog]

From our extensive travel in Europe, we’ve seen the good and the bad. Our Europe Travel Blog tells you where all the bests of Europe can be found!

Europe, even though, it is one of the smallest continents area-wise, it is arguably one of the most diverse places in the world. Jim and I are so lucky to have lived here for more than 20 years giving us the opportunity to visit every country. Some of them we’ve been to numerous times and some we’ve only been to once.

Now, just because we have been to them, doesn’t mean that we’ve seen it all. We like to explore more than just the capital city, because oftentimes the rest of the country is so different. In every country, there are dialects, regional foods, unique experiences, a variety of landscapes, and so much more than what one city can possibly offer.
