Happy Thursday! I'm currently on my way to Barcelona, Spain, one of my favorite cities in the world. I've been crying happy tears all week because I am so excited to go back there. I studied abroad here in the summer of 2017 and immediately fell in love with the city. My friends and I just spent the first part of the trip in Prague, Berlin, and Budapest. I've been to Prague in the winter, but the other two cities were new to me. I'll give you all my thoughts in next week's newsletter! Check out my Instagram or Facebook stories to see what I'm up to in Europe!

Travel Insurance One of the things I get asked about the most is travel insurance. Should you get it, and if so, which one? You should have travel insurance, as you never know when things may go wrong. SafetyWing is my go-to for travel insurance because it covers so much, is easy to purchase for days or months, and is affordable. Many credit cards also include travel insurance. I get SafetyWing on top of my credit card insurance. Learn more about SafetyWing and the benefits of using them in my blog post about travel insurance. |

I love Daily Drop Pro (formerly FareDrop), and I've...
We spent the day at the corn maze! Happy Thursday! I'm home in Chicago for one more week before a mini trip, and I'll be honest: I'm stumped on what to write! I was going to tell you all about the new Entry-Exit System (EES) being implemented at borders in the European Union for non-EU travelers, but the start date has been pushed back (again!). I'll send you all the details you need to know once a new date is set, but if you want to learn more now, you can read more about the delay or learn...
Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is enjoying fall (or spring, depending on where you are in the world). While it may seem early to think about it, I wanted to talk about Christmas! Christmas is my favorite holiday, and one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is go to Christmas markets. Christmas markets originated in Europe in the 13th century in the German-speaking region (likely Germany or Austria). They are still a beloved holiday tradition today, and you can find them all...
