I haven't been everywhere. But it's on my list. Especially when it comes to Europe. There are unending places to go, cities to travel, cuisines to taste, and streets to wander. I know that I won't see it all, but I'd like to at least try. I've put together a list of the absolute musts to see in Europe for a lifetime, the ultimate European bucket list.

Feel Like a Queen in Manchester – City Guide
Most girls dream about being a princess. If you're a millineal woman, you might have thought that Prince William or Harry was in your reach.

Well, we never met, and I'm sure that's the only thing that stood … [Read more...] about Feel Like a Queen in Manchester – City Guide
10 Day Italy Itinerary: Rome, Florence, Venice
I had a dream the other night that I was floating down a marinara river in a pasta boat, in search of gelato. It's safe to say I ate my way (deliciously) through Italy.

I Google "nearby restaurants" and we … [Read more...] about Getting Lost in Venice
How to Avoid Lines and People When Traveling
It was a chilly but clear Monday in Rome. Our wake up time was 7 am and I was tired from staying up late the night before. By late I mean 11:20 pm, lets face it, I like my sleep. We rubbed the sleep out of our eyes, laced up our tennis shoes, and hitched a ride on the bus to the Vatican. When we arrived we walked briskly to Sr. Peter's, expecting a long line and even bigger crowds. But to our … [Read more...] about How to Avoid Lines and People When Traveling
8 Things I Wish I Knew Before Moving To A Foreign Country
When I meet new people, their first question is: what brought you here? My standard response, "Well, we moved here for fun!" And it's true. Michael and I moved to Germany with the intent of traveling Europe. NOT because of a job. NOT because of really, anything, other than seeing the world. Sure, it's had it's ups and downs, but it's been a wonderfully awesome experience. This is the … [Read more...] about 8 Things I Wish I Knew Before Moving To A Foreign Country
