It felt SO GOOD to be back in Portugal! All the familiar sounds, smells and beautiful views! There is a reason Portugal is one of our favorite places in Europe.

The capital of Ireland and the largest city of Ireland as well! A three-hour flight from Edinburgh, and we landed in Dublin. The city of Dublin consists of 2 million people! Dublin is a contemporary and historical center for Irish education, arts and culture, administration, and industry.

Onto our next destination on our backpacking trip! We are in Edinburgh! It is a hilly city and the capital of Scotland! We took a flight from London and it was only about an hour's flight time to Edinburgh! This was a last-minute trip so we didn’t really research much about Edinburgh.

Oliver really wanted to go to Edinburgh while we were still here so we made it a quick pit stop before heading to Dublin.

For two weeks, we have gone through the big and small towns of Italy. This was Oliver’s and I’s first time in Italy. For this post, we wanted to share our journey through Italy from the northwest to the southwest towns/cities.

Our journey through Berlin was super exciting. We stayed in East Germany and explored West Germany in the coming days. The two ends were surprisingly contrasting in many different aspects. We also enjoyed German food..

Copenhagen was all about the HYGGE. The atmosphere and the people of Denmark was everything you expect it to be… cozy and warm. We enjoyed our short stay in Copenhagen. From staying in a super modern hostel to going to a food hall to try good food.

The city of Amsterdam is a rising city among many, from college students to digital nomads. We listed some highs, lows, places to see/visit, and thoughts on the red light district here in the bustling city of Amsterdam.
