I am heading back to Europe next month and I am starting to get really excited about the big move. A few of my friends are also moving/traveling to Europe around the same time and we have been trying to plan which countries to visit. I have been to Europe twice before and spent a total of six months visiting nine different countries. I saw so many beautiful cultures, landscapes, and architecture but these five places were my favorite.
Berlin, Germany
It wasn’t the most beautiful place but it felt like a neat place to live. Loved the history, the layout of the city, the late night parties, and surprisingly very good cheap food! I was also there around Christmas time so I spent a ridiculous amount of time feasting at Christmas markets.
Edinburgh, Scotland
I went to Edinburgh to celebrate New Years two years ago and it was one of the most memorable experiences. Kilts, bag pipes, and whiskey everywhere. The city is so beautiful and I really really loved the people.
Iceland
To me Iceland feels more like a different planet than a country. You step into the country and look outside the airport and you see black lava rocks for miles. It feels like you just landed on Mars. The country is beautiful in the most surrealistic way. We also danced next to Bjork at a club! Yeah, go to Iceland.
Gimmelwald, Switzerland
It is just beautiful there.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
I’m obviously biased since I am moving to Amsterdam but I love the city. I’m not even sure why I love the city so much. Of course I love the bikes, canals, tulips, and amazing art but I guess I love the cozy feeling about the city the most. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to live there again.
Honorable Mention: Lake Bled, Slovenia
I am sure that this list will completely change in the next couple of years since I will be living in Europe for a while. I’ll make sure to make a sequel but based on the knowledge I have now, I highly recommend visiting these places.
My dream city is combination of Austin, Amsterdam, and Gimmelwald. Whenever I am in Austin I want history, bikes, and canals. When I’m in Amsterdam I miss the heat and swimming holes. Both places need mountains like the swiss alps. This is my depiction of the dream city. ah.
