Western Europe

Probably one of my favorite things about living in England was how close I was to the rest of Europe. In less than a 3 hour flight, it's insane how many different countries and cultures you could visit. This seems like the impossible feat to visit them all, but that won't stop me from trying!

Things in Purple are the ones I've done. Most are links - click for pictures!
