European Travels

From historic cities and seaside towns to mountain villages and weekend escapes, these are my travels around Europe, with tips and experiences from the places I’ve visited

View of Venice’s Grand Canal lined with historic Venetian palaces and terracotta rooftops, with boats travelling along the water towards the domed Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute under a clear blue sky.

There’s something about the canals, the bridges, and all those cute little boats that makes you feel like you’re in a dream – … just with a million other tourists in the same dream with you…

Panoramic view of Rauris, Austria, with a traditional alpine village nestled in a green valley surrounded by forested mountains and snow-capped peaks, framed by autumn leaves under a clear blue sky.

Panoramic view of a Mediterranean bay with deep blue water fading into turquoise near a rocky coastline covered in green vegetation, with small boats anchored in the calm sea.

Rugged Portuguese coastline with steep rocky cliffs, turquoise waves breaking against the shore, and coastal vegetation overlooking the Atlantic Ocean under a clear blue sky.
