I decided before my 30th birthday I wanted to go to Europe. As everyone does before their 30th I wanted to have something I could say I did that would make my 20s okay. Other than my Bachelors degree which is definitely something to be proud of and having a blast in college; I don’t really have much to show for my 20s. I’ve pretty much worked them away. So Europe is my major accomplishment. 7 countries and 20+ cities staying in a combination of hotels and hostels. I took a Cosmos tour for 21 days called the Grand European and then stayed 2 weeks by myself in Rome, London, and Paris! Most people will never get to experience that in their lifetimes so I know how lucky I was. I will go into detail about all the cities in my blogs and try to give people ideas and tips.
Here are the cities I have been to:

- England– London
- Holland– Amsterdam

- Switzerland– Lucerne and Lugano
- Italy- Verona, Venice, Burano, Rome, Pisa, and Florence
