Rome is known as the Eternal City for a reason! It’s fascinating history can be seen in its ruins, its architecture and its culture.

Paris is one of those cities that you can easily fall in love with, and visiting once is simply not enough to truly admire its beauty, history and food! Whenever I travel there, I lose myself in the food, the art, the cafes, the strolls across the streets.
The southernmost region of Spain, Andalusia, is my absolute favorite due to its warmer weather, Moorish architecture and slow pace of life. Andalusia offers sandy beaches and beautiful mountains with so much history, art, and cultural treasures.
The moment anyone mentions Greece, two things come to mind (well maybe a few more!): Blue and white houses on a gorgeous island and yummy feta cheese! But Greece is so much more and is one of the most fascinating places to visit in Europe.
If you haven’t been to Europe yet or are dying to go back, consider traveling by rail. Train travel is a fun and affordable way to get around, and usually the best way to see and explore the most important destinations in each country.
Restrooms are few and far between. It costs money to use the toilettes: anywhere from 50 EUR cents to 2 EUR. Always carry loose change. Usually, there is a lady at the door with a cup or saucer. Here she is known as Madame Pi-Pi (but don’t call her that).
Two months ago, I had the pleasure of rediscovering Portugal on a special travel industry visit organized by Visit Portugal, the country’s tourism organization. The last time I visited was 19 years ago, and though much has changed to enhance the experience for the traveler, a lot has also remained the same! Portugal is a country of friendly and welcoming people, delicious food, great weather, and a rich and vast historical and cultural heritage. It is a place that should be experienced!
If this is your first time visiting Italy, it may be hard to narrow down the best places to visit! There are so many magical places in this small country (roughly the size of New Mexico).
A few years ago, I embarked on an amazing trip to northern France, a part I had yet to discover when I lived in France years ago. Brittany is an area that always seems to get forgotten when people travel to France.
