our europe adventure: travel plans

friends, we’re adventuring in europe this summer! 
thanks to a generous gift from my dear in-laws & months of saving our pennies, we’ve finally budgeted just enough to travel throughout europe this summer! after tons of research, we’ve finalized our travel & i am so excited to share our plans with you today!
our 2015 european adventure
– geneva, switzerland & surrounding areas 
– paris, france
– berlin, germany
– cinque terre, italy & “the five lands”
– florence, italy 
– rome, italy

some tips we’ve learned along the way:

1. we chose to book mini flights via easy jet instead of purchasing a train pass. this saved us a considerable amount of money & time.
2. we’re opting out of hotels. instead we’re staying in cozy, centralized apartments & european guest houses booked through airbnb. airbnb is an incredible resource that allowed us to save money while also connecting with locals in the areas. i cannot wait to meet our fun hosts! 

friends, have you been to these areas? are you familiar with switzerland, germany, france & italy? we’d love your recommendations on good food, beautiful sites & more within the places listed above! 
love,
natalie
