I am starting this blog to exchange travel tips on getting around Europe and having a great time.
On Saturday I gave a class at PCC called 10 tips for a great trip to Europe. The purpose of the class was just to share advice on all aspects of planning a great trip. I think it went well and I got great feedback from all that joined me. I wanted to use that class to kick off this blog. Even though I run a small company, European Discovery (www.eurodiscov.com), I want this blog to be content where users can go to get and share travel tips to Europe. I have given this presentation at several travel shows, libraries, travel fairs, etc and it has been very well received as not pushing my tours but just sharing my love for travel and how to get around Europe both efficiently and with passion.
I head back to Europe giving tours in Aug and Sept and hope that folks will be interested in following my little groups travel adventures on this blog but for now I will go through the tips.
I will list them now and the proceed with separate blogs on each.
1) Where, when and how long?
2) Have a skeleton of a written plan
3) How to make the best of your international flight
4) How should you get around in Europe - Car, train, bus, etc?
5) Book ahead any “biggies” that may sell out before you get there
6) Plan in “free days” and resist cramming in too much
7) How to find the best place to rest your head
Finding great food
9) Pack light - Just do it!
10) Once you get there - ease up, enjoy and do something out of your comfort zone
The questions that I got from the class were great so I encourage the same online and I look forward to hearing from you.
