travel inspiration for small budgets and big dreams

Over 3 years ago, my sister and I found ourselves in Europe for the very first time. This was our itinerary.

Looking back on it now, I don’t think I would change anything! We did spend too little time in Nice — just enough to catch the breathtaking view (no, really: it made me literally hold my breath for a few seconds) from the Promenade des Anglais and take a quick walk through the Cours Saleya flower and fruit market. In fact, I would stay longer in all of these places given half a chance.

My favorite moments from our trip:

A friend asked me for details of my two previous trips to Europe, so I’ll be writing about that for a while. Please feel free to chime in with reviews, tips, or anything else you can think of that would be good for a traveler to know. I hope all of you reading this are having a good day! 🙂

  1. Woah that sounds really cool! But would it not have been easier Rome – Nice without going all the back to Paris though? But it definitely makes me want to go as well on the same route! I would LOVE to see Italy!!!

    1. You should! I want to go back too. 🙂 We did consider going the Rome – Milan – Ventimiglia – Nice route, but it would have taken nearly all day, so we eventually chose to go on the Rome-Paris and Paris-Nice sleeper trains to save time (and money on hotels).

    1. Definitely too little time! We only had 10 days, though, and with airfare usually around 900 euros (for context, nearly 150x the monthly minimum wage in Cebu) we didn’t know when we’d be able to go back, so we thought we’d see a little bit of everything.
