Since I’ve been back I’ve been asked my favorite place I’ve been. My answer has been different every time. Each place was so different, and so amazing in different ways. There wasn’t one city I was bummed about on the whole trip. I wrote about all of the places we hit above, but here’s a clean list.

1. Amsterdam, Holland
2. Munich, Germany
3. Florence, Italy with a day trip to Cinque Terre
4. Naples, Italy
5. Rome, Italy
6. Nice, France
7. Madrid, Spain
8. Valencia, Spain
9. Barcelona, Spain
10. Paris, France
11. Amsterdam, Holland

I wish I could have gone a lot more places, and next time I will. We didn’t hit any of the UK,   Scandinavia, or Eastern Europe. I also have a strong desire to go to travel anywhere and anywhere in the world because it is so much fun.

The list above is a perfect circle if you are traveling roundtrip from your home city.

1. Other places in Europe that we heard great things about from people:
   1. Scandinavia – Sweden, Norway, Finland
   2. Brussels, Belgium
   3. Berlin, Germany
   4. Warsaw, Poland
   5. Prague, Czech Republic
   6. Vienna, Austria
   7. Budapest, Hungary
   8. Split, Croatia

   11. Santorini, Greece
   12. Athens,Greece

Places not in Europe recommended to us:

1. Southeast Asia
2. Japan and South Korea
3. China
4. Turkey and the Middle East
5. Australia and New Zealand
6. Central America or Mexico
7. South America

Pretty much the whole world is worth seeing. Save some money, quit the job you hate, go after graduation, go for the summer, study abroad, join the Peace Corps, teach English abroad, volunteer. Do whatever you can to see a part of the world you’ve never seen at some point in your life. It’s an incredible experience and worth every penny.
