I took a mini writing break, but I’m happy to be back! The reason I wasn’t writing regularly was that I WENT TO EUROPE!!!!! I can’t believe this trip happened. I had so much fun on this trip, as this was my husband’s and my first time in Europe. This trip meant so much to me as it was a dream vacation I had planned for so many years.

Going to Europe was supposed to be our honeymoon trip. We got engaged in 2019 and started wedding planning, and then COVID happened. Our wedding was pushed into 2021, and by that time, there were still COVID-19 restrictions where a COVID-19 test was required in the countries we wanted to visit. I didn’t want our vacation to be stalled if one of us got COVID while on our trip. In 2022, we bought our house, which led to the general house costs of buying house stuff. When 2023 came around, my husband and I knew we wanted to make this trip a priority for this year.

We were gone for two weeks and visited three countries: Iceland, England, and Ireland. As we flew home, we had a brief stop in Boston to visit a friend who had moved there before finally flying home. I learned so much about myself and how I like to travel from this trip.

I will be back to writing regularly now that I’m home. I’m dedicating one post per country that we visited, and I will share plenty of pictures. Europe was amazing, and I can’t wait to plan more international travel in the future.
