Your Ultimate European Road Trip

Just one of many great options.

Two years ago I went on a road trip through Europe to celebrate me graduating from high school. We went to many great places throughout Europe and I want to share my route with all of you, hopefully, you'll get some inspiration. Of course, this is not the only route that you can take, but this was mine, so I just write what I know.

1. Berlin, Germany

Berlin is a really cool city. I did find the 'must-sees' a bit disappointing, but we also did an 'underground' city tour that went to all of these unusual places in the city that you wouldn't go to on your own. This was the most fun thing we did in this city!

2. Krakow, Poland

Krakow is really beautiful, and also really cheap. Although it isn't really a big city, you can roam around just fine. It has a really big shopping mall and a few fun places you can visit. We also went to concentration camp 'Auschwitz', which is really close by. That was a really overwhelming experience.

3. Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, and it is immensely touristic. But the city deserves it, it is really beautiful and if you search a bit deeper there are also many interesting places hidden in plain sight. I would say that when you've seen this city once, you don't have to see it again. But that's my personal opinion.

4. Vienna, Austria

Vienna was the most beautiful city of the entire tour. The buildings, palaces, everything was so beautiful. We also went to the zoo, which is the oldest zoo in the world! I also really loved the Sissie museum, about the legendary Empress Elisabeth.

5. Hunedoara, Romania

Hunedoara itself was a bit underwhelming, but we were expecting that. We went specifically for the Dracula castle, which is located there. Romania was a really beautiful country tho, and really cheap too. I would definitely go back, but not to Hunedoara.

6. Zagreb, Croatia

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and a really beautiful city. It has lots of interesting museums and it has a great atmosphere. It was really warm tho when we were there in the middle of the summer. Spring would be the better season to visit I think.

7. Budapest, Hungary

Budapest is such a young and energetic city. There's a lot of youth in the city and the nightlife is really energetic. There are great karaoke bars and the city itself is also really beautiful. You should definitely do a city tour.

8. Ljubljana (& Bled), Slovenia

Ljubljana was the most surprising city during all of the tours. It was really small, but there was so much to see and do. We also went to Bled during a day trip, just 30 minutes by train. It's a really beautiful lake with waterfalls nearby. You should definitely do a day trip when you're there.

9. Verona, Italy

The city of Romeo and Juliet, the city of Shakespeare's love story. This is a typical Italian city with lots of high fashion houses and a Roman arena. Definitely worth a visit, extremely touristic tho.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
