My MiniBreak Bucket List

05/22/18 | Travel

Now that I love in Europe there are so many places that I can travel to for the weekend and I am determined to visit a ton of them. This weekend it is the second bank holiday in May and while I was in the Bahamas for a wedding for the first one I am off on a proper European mini break for this second one and am quite excited about it!  It is still a bit of surprise but it is less than a two hour flight and I am off with one of my roommates from university.   

But until then, and because of my incredible case of wanderlust, I have made a list of places in Europe I really want to visit and also a list of a handful of European cities I would go back to in a heartbeat even though I still have so many undiscovered ones.  As it stands right now, here is th evergrowing list: 

 

First Time: 

Amsterdam, Netherlands 

Bavaria, Germany 

Brussels, Belgium

Bucharest, Romania

Cannes, France

Edinburgh, Scotland

Ibiza, Spain 

Istanbul, Turkey

Brighton, England 

Milan, Italy 

Monte Carlo, Monaco 

Tuscany, Italy 

 

Kelly with the Crown on Skeppsholmsbron Bridge in Stockholm

Repeat Visitor: 

Barcelona, Spain 

Budapest, Hungary

Dubrovnik, Croatia 

Santorini, Greece

Stockholm, Sweden

 

So many amazing places and it almost feels like not enough time.  As I mentioned in my moving to England post I will be here for five years on my current visa and hopefully that gives me the opportunity to get to all of these places but we shall see!

Where should I go next?

    Wow! So many places you visited! Love your photos. I’d have to agree with Cindy, visit China! There is so much to see there.

    You should add a trip to China.

    The Great wall and the Terra Cotta warriors are not to be missed. The history is fascinating as well.

    Bavaria is one of my favorite places in the world. The Von Ludwig Castle is the one Disney copied for his movies. It is the ultimate princess palace. You have to go.
