Friends! Need Your Expert Feedback On My Travel Itinerary!
Surprise! I’m back on the blog for a minute to get your tips and recommendations for my grand European adventure.
Green Card renewal now firmly in hand, I am once again FREE to travel. My goal is to absorb the vibe of each city, immerse myself in the day-to-day, meet locals, explore “it” neighborhoods, and most especially check out the art, culture and restaurant scenes in each city.
- My travels start in May in LONDON (8 days), then on to PARIS (12 days), ROME (10 days), ISTANBUL (8 days), and BERLIN (10 days). The specific itineraries for each day are ambitious but they aren’t set in stone. They do, however, provide a framework and lots of options. I’ll be staying in Soho Houses in each city.
- From Berlin, I head to Oslo to catch the Bergensbanen train to Bergen which is where the fantastic journey to the Faroe Islands begins. But I must say I am almost as excited about the 7-hour train trip as I am about the Faroes. The train is Northern Europe’s highest railway and includes some of the most beautiful landscapes in Norway. And it goes through 180 tunnels!
- SO HERE’S WHAT I WOULD LOVE YOUR HELP WITH: Please review my itinerary for the cities you are familiar with and let me know if I’ve included anything that is a total dud or if there’s anything I’ve overlooked and simply must add. Also, would appreciate specific recommendations on public transportation in each city and any insights on how cashless each city is these days. And finally, if you have any friends in those cities who you think might enjoy being treated to dinner or cocktails by a stranger from New York in exchange for some insidery tips about their city, please let them/me know.
Scroll down for my draft itinerary. If you just zero in on the cities you’ve been to lately it shouldn’t take but a few mins. Appreciate your help in advance!
