EUROPE

EXPLORE EUROPE

Europe is truly extraordinary, and I have quite a bit of time over the years traveling different regions of the continent. I spent three months living in Spain during study abroad which was unfortunately cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What a crazy time! Since then, I have

spent various summers galivanting the region with friends and solo traveling. Out of the 26 countries I have been to, 18 of them were in Europe. Ironically, the smallest country in the world -- the Vatican City -- resides within Italy's borders and is the 18th country on my growing list! There are still so many more countries I wish to visit, specifically the Scandinavian regions and northeastern Europe.

Here are some of my top reasons why you should visit:

1. You can easily travel between different cities and countries.
2. Rich diversity in activities and attractions.
3. Countless historic sites that will bring you back in time.
4. Awe-striking nature and outdoor activities.
5. An abundance of cultures and languages.

6. Easy to solo travel and safe for female travelers.

7. Navigation is simple given widespread English use.
