Want to save money and gain new experiences?
In this post, I wanted to talk about the last three weeks of our backpacking trip in Europe and answer questions for a lot of people who were asking about this volunteer program.
Dublin, Ireland
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.
Edinburgh, Scotland
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.
London, England
London is the capital and the largest city of England and the United Kingdom. It is one of the most visited city in Europe. It is one of the most diverse cities in the world, with an outstanding culture. It is pretty impossible to get bored here in London, there is something for everyone!
Berlin, Germany
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..
Porto, Portugal
Porto… what a gem. The food is absolutely to die for, and the people here are so kind. We stayed in a hostel right in the city center and were able to explore lots of this city in a short amount of time. From best places to eat, things to eat, and places to see and visit… we have it all.
Sintra, Portugal
A 30-minute train ride from Lisbon and we have arrived in Sintra, Portugal. We stayed in Sintra for a day (a stop on our way to Porto). We have listed where we stayed, a nice cafe to stop by, and some sights to see.
Our Next Destination and a Practical Packing List for Backpacking!
As a couple, we are going out of the country for the first time. We are super excited to tell you guys the first destination we are heading to! We have included a small simple packing list for our 3-month backpacking trip to Europe in the fall months.
