Europe at your fingertips

“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list."

- Susan Sontag

There is so much to sea in Europe.

"Plan to only travel with a backpack on weekend trips. Especially if you are flying, many airlines will charge extra for bags that don’t fit under your seat, and it’s much more convenient to only have to worry about storing a backpack while on your trip. Plus, sometimes you might want to bring it with you on your adventures!"

- Miah

"Don't be worried about figuring out how to travel. I was so scared to travel on my own around to different countries and was hesitant at first but quickly learned how easy it was after a little research, practice, and googling!"

- Evan

"Travel as much as you can, but don’t compare your trips and their frequency to other people This is your individual experience. Traveling every weekend is amazing but also expensive. Maastricht has many events and activities to do on the weekends, and you will appreciate spending time getting to know your host city just as much as others."

- Emily

"If you ’ re traveling to the Brussels-Zuid train station, the restroom in the Thalys Lounge is free and clean!"

"If you have never used public transport before, try using it in a familiar environment first Most public transport systems worldwide are conceptually similar, so getting a sense for it before you travel abroad will make your experience much less overwhelming "

"Socialize with other travellers at hostels and on group tours. They often have valuable tips to share about destinations you may travel to in the future "

"Waking up early allows you to experience crowded tourist destinations in a less chaotic environment. This is also helpful during the winter months which have limited daylight hours "
