My family and I love to travel. Prior to our move to Europe, we made a promise to ourselves to seize every opportunity to explore this beautiful continent that we currently call home.
Republic of Ireland
In all my travels, Ireland is my favorite. It is stunning, the locals are kind and cheeky, and the beer is top-notch. Plus, I can trace my paternal ancestors back to this amazing country. It just felt right.
Czech Republic
Prague is one of my favorite cities. It is breathtakingly beautiful. The culture is evident in even the smallest of details. The locals are fun and the beer is cheap.
France
Oui, oui! I have never had a bad experience in France. The food is some of the best on the planet, the wine makes me happy and I have always found the locals to be kind. Plus, it’s beautiful.
Germany
This is where I currently call home. The language is difficult, but I welcome the challenge. The country is beautiful and such a central location to be able to travel with ease to the rest of Europe.
Switzerland
Switzerland is expensive compared to most of Europe. However, it is gorgeous.
Luxembourg
Luxembourg city has so much history and the Christmas markets here are some of my favorites.
Austria
This beautiful country nestled within the Alps is stunning and great place to enjoy winter sports.
Italy
The land of pasta, prosecco, pizza and gelato. The locals are kind, the architecture has character and the history is vast.
Not all those who wander are lost.

I am grateful for the opportunity I have to live in and explore Europe. It sometimes feels surreal to be able to drive to Prague and Paris and visit the Alps and constantly see castles perched on top of hills. Know that I do not take this experience and the opportunity to explore for granted.
