Whether embarking on a Eurotrip or a weekend jaunt to a foreign city, European travel requires some smart planning; you may know all the must-see landmarks, but we provide the hidden gems.

COSTA BRAVA LUXURY VILLAS
Flaunting rocky coastlines ideal for water sports and enchanting beachfront towns, Costa Brava is among the most exquisite of Spain's Costas. Many tourism means you will be catered to with restaurants and pubs while this enchanting region stays stagnant. Besides the crowds, attractive coves invite snorkeling, beautiful rock villages are all waiting to be seen, and trekking trails result in stunning seascape viewpoints. It's a perfect site for families who have young kids and adolescents alike, and also the welcoming locals can allow you to feel at home.

Hi everyone. Today’s post will be a bit different then the usual. After what happened in Nice recently, I thought I would write something about Nice, France. This is a kind of a love letter to my hometown.

Why Toledo is the city of three cultures
Historical sites are in abundance in Europe. Yes, the US has its history, but our country is still pretty young. Compared to other places globally, our history is still in its infancy, with many countries' history effortlessly going back millenniums and the US only almost two and a half centuries old. One of my favorite countries in the world is Spain, with its beautiful cities like Barcelona, Madrid, and Toledo. While Madrid is currently my home, Toledo holds its unique beauty and sometimes bloody history.

This is the home of the ruling powers
For centuries, London has been the home of ruling powers. Many palaces and once royal residences can be discovered in around the capital, although many of them are currently unused except as museums for their former owners. Various members of the Royal Family still occupy five. While some will be familiar, others are less known to the public.

Captivating Greece
Oh, My Goodness I was in Greece, I still couldn't believe I was no longer in Asia. Exploring a whole new place. I was spreading my wings and flying off while being mindful of my thoughts and manifesting my dreams. Flying to Athens was one of the worst flights I have ever experienced. I admit I booked this flight since it was an affordable price. But, this company has no in-flight entertainment, as well as food and drinks, which are all at an expense. Let me tell you it isn't a quick flight this flight was 12-hours. I would suggest Scoot if you want a cheap flight. But, be self-prepared with snacks and entertainment.

The Magical Cotswolds
After many months of existing in a pandemic bubble of working from home and walking around my village every day, it felt a lot like Groundhog Day. Although I’m not travelling abroad currently, The Cotswolds are so different to where I live and other places in England that it seemed like another land. The numerous quaint picture-postcard villages with their golden coloured cottages and thatched rooves, combined with the glorious weather we were having, transported me to the magical fairy-tale escape I craved. Here are some of the best places I visited:

City of "Lost Souls"
London is the typical definition of whirlwind of nationalities, cultures and just in general the variety of people you find here, which is great if you are trying to blend in to a place. Here you can blend in without actually fitting in at all. There are so many out here, so people don`t judge much or even care sometimes. It`s a gorgeous place to live in, because it has history and culture, you can always find something you like. But there is an other side to it all, a darker one. Because there are so many people, so many different cultures in there, you can feel so alone in the middle of the crowd. Literally being a drop in the sea. With all the improvement of the social aspect of technology, we feel more and more isolated from people, even if they live right by us. I don`t think this part is rare, it happens everywhere. Nobody likes that, but I guess, it is what it is. Right?!

Spontaneity Should Never Be Abandoned
Spontaneity can take many forms. It can be deciding to stop at that restaurant you’ve never been to before but pass every day on the way home, it can be deciding to try a new recipe on a weeknight, or it can be buying those discount airline tickets off of SlickDeals.

A Spiritual Experience in the Lost City of Pompeii
Pompeii Archaeological Ruins Pompeii… It took me a while to write about Pompeii. The Pompeii Archaeological Ruins is on the west coast of Italy overlooking the bay and the city of Naples. There was a time when Pompeii attracted affluent people and vacationers to the area, becoming one of the most desirable places for the distinguished and blue collared. Lined with beautiful houses, villas, and shops until that fateful night when Mount Vesuvius, the most dangerous volcano in the world, erupted. It was 79 A.D. History says that the blast was so intense that people could see it even if they were hundreds of miles away. Ash and lava swallowed everything surrounding it—including the city of Pompeii burying about 11,000 residents under 13 to 20ft of volcanic ash.
