Places I’ve Been

1. Calgary, Canada - Drove a rental car into the city during our layover and walked around the shopping district. Interesting city.

2. Geneva, Switzerland - Expensive, but cool. Highlight: Boat cruise on Lake Geneva. One time there might be enough though.

3. Nice, France - Beautiful town on the Mediterranean. Can’t wait to go back.

4. Cannes, France - Another beautiful city in the South of France. Very relaxing day lounging by the beach.

5. Monte Carlo, Monaco - Way too fancy, but fun doubling my money at the famous Monte Carlo Casino.

6. Rome, Italy - Incredible place to live for a month. So much different from home, but so many things I miss already.

7. Venice, Italy - Picturesque tourist trap. Every street (canal) looks like a postcard.

8. Amalfi Coast, Italy - My favorite day of the trip (4th of July) was spent on a boat from Sorrento to Positano. Beyond perfect.

9. Tuscany, Italy - Not a bad place to spend a relaxing weekend. Amazing views…and wine.

10. Florence, Italy - Like Rome, but smaller and cleaner. Tons of leather everywhere. I would definitely go back.

11. Vatican City - Cool to see. St. Peter’s Basilica was breathtaking.

12. Split, Croatia - Fun little town on the water. I’d definitely go back to see some of the nearby islands.

13. Vienna, Austria - Not my favorite. The palace and buildings were gorgeous, but there wasn’t much to do. I was ready to go after one day.

14. Bratislava, Slovakia - Small and charming. Good for a day-trip.

15. Budapest, Hungary - Incredible city. So much to see and do. I will definitely go back.

16. Prague, Czech Republic - Perhaps my favorite city from this trip. I loved everything about it and could see myself living there.

17. Munich, Germany - I didn’t spend enough time there to make a solid judgement, but it seemed okay. The trip to the concentration camp was mind-blowing.

18. Amsterdam, Netherlands - A bigger and more urban version of Venice. Extremely liberal. Pretty much anything goes.

19. Brussels, Belgium - Great way to end the trip. Nice people, cool city, good desserts.
