This looks awesome, what a great trip ๐ Which one was your favourite ?
It’s hard to say – each gave me a very special experience. I loved the mountains in Switzerland, the plains in the Cotswolds, the hot air balloon in Turkey, the cosmpolitan Amsterdam and the tarts in Portugal! Have you been to these places? ๐
Wow! That is really amazing….traveling the world, meeting people, learning cultures, marveling nature as well as man-made architectural wonders…this is what great life is made of.
Yes I can’t agree more! Everyone should take the time to do that once in a while- to truly LIVE.
wow this is amazing!
Yeah when I look back and see how far I’ve gone, I amaze myself too.
Yes I am sure!! amazing!
Thanks a lot Lynz ๐

Hi Edison,
Thanks for your query! I was on a student exchange that’s why. ๐
As a Brit I am slightly biased, but please return and see more of the country! Especially Devon and Cornwall; Pembrokeshire; and the some of the cities and national parks up north such as the lake district and Yorkshire dales. Scotland would be its own trip entirely !
Granted a lot of what I would show people would involve a lot of coastal walks and hikes up mountains which isn’t everyone’s thing.
What an excellent guide and list. Thanks for sharing!
