Europe Travel Journal
Fellow daydreamers, travel junkies and curiosity seekers ...welcome to my travel journal! If you've been thinking about a trip to Europe or want to get a taste of what it's like...please check out our unforgettable 14-day journey through five European countries.
I was surprised at how much we were able to see in two weeks. We got to experience the beauty, history and charm of Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and France. We marveled at Rome's ancient ruins, explored the canals of magical Venice, hiked through the beautiful Swiss Alps, climbed high up a hill to get to a fairytale castle, wined and dined in romantic France and made memories to last a lifetime. Every destination has a story to tell. See some of the highlights and our itinerary below.
Bienvenue
Bonjour à tous! I'm Cindy, Californian currently living in Paris. I moved from San Diego a couple of weeks before the tour started and I am staying for at least a year to see how I like it. So far, LOVE it!
I came to France with a long travel wish list. At the top were Switzerland and Italy, so I was able to knock those two off with this Rick Steves Best of Europe in 14 Days tour. This was my second Rick Steves tour. I did the Eastern France tour in 2023 and it was spectacular, so I was ready for another.

It's funny how so many strangers can come together with a common interest in travel and become good friends within two weeks. If you're thinking about doing any kind of tour, I say do it if you can! A big, beautiful world awaits!
