The best thing about living in Europe is that there are so many opportunities for you to travel. Flights are usually quite cheap and the distance to get from one country to the next is short. You could easily travel to another European city for a day and be back for dinner! You could also spend a full weekend exploring another city.
As a part-time traveller, I try and utilize my weekends and annual leave wisely and so if we throw in a few bank holidays here and there, we can enjoy a few trips to different European countries in one year.
Have a look at some of my three/four day itineraries below:
