Similar to a handful of other privileged Americans I know, I spent a month in Europe traveling my train to “find myself.” People say its BS that youll really feel any different, but I after my 2023 hardship, this time alone with new people and cultures empowered me to move forward. I spent time in Lisbon and Porto, Portugal, Madrid, Granada and Malaga, Spain, 6 hours in Lyon, France, Basel, Switzerland, Strasbourg and Paris France, and Amsterdam and The Hague, Netherlands.
