Wherever you go, go with all your heart. – Confucius
Amalfi coast hike
Sacre Coeur in Paris
Magical doesn’t begin to describe my first trip through Europe and here’s why:
best friends on vacation,
free upgrade to business class,
flight out of Washington D.C. at sunset,
Halley’s comet and Northern Lights on display from our plane’s windows, and
Paris at sunrise.
Then we embraced Paris—in April. Hello world…and good-bye comfort zones.
The Orient Express
For a month’s travel, we committed to a backpack each and public transportation while staying at mom-and-pop lodging along our route. The only reservations we made beforehand were for Parisian arrival and departure sleepovers. That’s been my travel mode ever since.
Enjoy this pictorial view of our trip through Europe.
What was your first trip outside your comfort zone? How did that affect you? Do you still travel?
