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:
Longleat Adventure and Safari Review – Lockdown Edition
We actually came here for our first wedding anniversary, in June 2020 during the first Covid-19 lockdown. It was a fantastic day out for couples and for families. Some facilities and attractions were closed or restricted this year, due to there being extra safety rules, pre-booking requirements or one-way systems in place. It may be …

Sledding Korketrekkeren Like A Boss
Friday 27th December 2019 We got up early and were so excited to do some sledging. This was such a last-minute decision (literally decided the night before) which made it even more exciting! We both knew that no trip to Oslo in the winter would be complete without playing in the snow but this takes playing …

Best things to see in Milan
I visited Milan in mid-February, during Milan Fashion Week 2020 and the a few days before the travel ban for coronavirus. It was a birthday treat for my mum as she loves European city getaways with the family. I never suspected a thing during my time in Italy. Everyone was out as normal, right up …
