Some of our favorite highlights:
1. Warsaw – we loved Warsaw. It was such a clean, safe city. We did a self guided walking tour in Old Town and enjoyed a nice visit with our friends
2. Lisbon – another favorite – very hilly, great food, Portuguese people are very friendly. Spain / Portugal culture fits us well
3. Oktoberfest – it was our second time – beer beer and more party – it’s our vibe
4. Antwerp – so many friends, so little time.
