In December 2022, I went on a quest to get into the Christmas spirit with a 12 day trip to Europe. I wanted to see snow, Christmas lights, Christmas markets, and get that warm and fuzzy holiday feeling. I also wanted to celebrate my birthday in a way that I never have before (you can see what I did by watching the video from Day 11 below). I’m sharing my itinerary, experiences, and daily vlogs for your viewing pleasure. I had the best time and I am planning on doing another European Christmas (and birthday) trip in 2023.
