How I Travel Europe

My first trip to Europe brought so much excitement and anticipation, I didn’t know where to start and end with research. I wanted to experience it all and was becoming disappointed at not having enough time. So I developed a list of “Must Do’s.” It helped me narrow down the list and be satisfied with the adventure. On my list?

Drink a glass of Champaign, in Champaign.

Hike a Swiss Alp.

Drink a glass of pink champaign on the Eiffel Tower.

Have Afternoon Tea in London.

The list is always changing but what makes it amazing is the unexpected experiences on the way to the “Must Do.” I hope this travel journal helps you develop your own “Must Do” list for all of life’s adventures.
