Back!!

Well here I am alive and back from my Euro Trip. What a grand time it was…. I have 2,478 pictures to sort through, 9 cities to blog about, and 22 days worth of stories to share with you. For now I will start with a bit of this and that. 

Like the fact that Couchsurfing comes highly recommended. You see I originally decided to surf this past trip because I didn’t fancy staying in a Hostel every city. Don’t get me wrong I love Hostels but I was going to be gone for nearly a month and I enjoy meeting people but sometimes it’s hard to do in Hostels. So I had heard about couch surfing from someone and I decided to look into it. I had planned on going half hostels half couches. But when I got into looking for hosts and everything then I was like oh my gosh I want to surf every city. So I started looking in the middle of November for all my couches. To those who want an easy accommodation set up, couchsurfing is not for you. It took a lot of messages and talking and planning to set up where I was staying. It was a challenge but I’m really happy I did it. My hosts were fantastic, except one, but that’s a different post. Couchsurfing turned travelling into something else. Before I just stayed at the Hostels, I was there by sun down and went to bed early to wake up early to see the city. Having a host that knew the city was always a bonus. They can steer you in the right direction for travel cards, places to eat, and hidden sites. Surfing made my trip into something else, something cooler then how I had travelled before.

So where exactly did I go you ask?

New Years in Madrid

Then to visit Ana in Murcia

And Barcelona to see Lenka

Then Budapest

And Brussels

Pisa

Florence

Lucca

And lastly Rome!

Boy was it a blast but damn was I tired when I got home. There’s something about travelling that takes it out of you. I’m happy to be home now though. I had one day to rest before heading back to work. My jetlag is currently working in my favour as I work at 6h00 everyday and have a 15 minute drive the whole my body wakes my up around 4h30 isn’t such a devastating thing now. I rather enjoy it, so thank you jetlag for working in my favour. 
Now strap yourselves in and prepare for some epic blog posts on all things Europe and travel!
Cheers,
