So I started thinking about the places I wanted to go to. I have already done a bit of travelling in the US since I was on exchange there in 2010 and also went back for 2 weeks in 2012 so the US was not on my list this time around. Did I want to go to Paris, London maybe Prague? or did I want to go to Tokyo, Hong Kong or Cambodia? The decision was relatively easy. I had to go on a European tour! I had to then come up with a list of places I wanted to go to in Europe and then go from there. I have so many places in mind I want to go to. I have met so many people that live all around Europe and this is the best excuse to go see as much as I can and visit all of my friends that I miss so much. Trying to fit all the places I want to go to in 10 weeks is proving to be quite difficult but I finally narrowed it down and below is a list of places I will be visiting from June-August this year!
European Experience Contiki Tour
London, England
Paris, France
French Riviera, France
Florence, Italy
Rome, Italy
Venice, Italy
Tyrol, Austria
Munich, Germany
Swiss Alps, Switzerland
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Berlin, Germany
Prague, Czech Republic

Others that I will explore on my own

I also decided that as a solo traveller and wanting to see as much of Europe as I can in the time that I have, Contiki is the best option for me; I will write a post about why I chose contiki at a later stage. Yes it is safe to say that after this trip I will be all Contiki'd out!
Deciding that I was going to spend 10 weeks in Europe was quite an impulse decision and required very little thinking. I have always wanted to visit Europe and since 2014 is my travel year, naturally Europe was the only option! On top of spending 10 weeks in Europe this year I also got the chance to go to Cairns, Queensland for the very first time. I got to snorkel at the great barrier reef which I will write about in another post. I am also about to head on a cruise with my family to Noumea, Lifou and Vila. 2014 is already shaping up to be an amazing year!
Until next time sexy people,
