Nothing spells fun like a holiday that takes you to Germany during the annual Bavarian festival known as Oktoberfest. The annual event spans 16-days and is a magnet to over 5-million people. The event has a long history as well. The 2018 version will be the 208th annual.

If you’re going for your first time I would highly recommend a tour. I did this and am thankful I did. I was able to sit back and relax as we travelled through cities and mountain ranges, not having to deal with unfamiliar roads, maps and stress about getting lost. A tour gives you a great overview of the various countries so if you fall in love with one, like I did with Switzerland, then you can go back another time and explore it more deeply. From beautiful cities like Paris, Rome, Lucerne in Switzerland and Innsbruck in Austria, you will get to see spectacular scenery and learn so much about the history of these places.

My personal drawcard is Europe. I have visited many times and will continue to visit again and again. I have had the opportunity to visit many countries, however feel I have only touched the surface. From the hilltop cobblestone villages, to the fascinating history, interesting cultures, amazing scenery and, once there, all within close proximity.

I have travelled by car, rail, coach and ship, the network and options are endless. My experiences include England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, The Republic of Ireland, Italy, France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Croatia, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Barcelona (much more to explore in Spain!), Belgium, Czechia, Turkey, Greece and Iceland.

Iceland is a truly unique destination with dramatic landscapes, volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, lava fields, glaciers, a place where fire and ice co-exist. Depending on the time of year you visit, you may have the opportunity to see the Northern Lights. Iceland also has a fascinating history, and culture and the locals are friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend a visit.

Italy is also a favourite, with diverse landscapes, amazing villages, awesome history, fabulous food and wine. I have visited from north to south including the northern Italian Alps, Lake Como region, Venice, Tuscany, Cinque Terre, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Amalfi Coast, Taormina (Sicily) and intriguing Matera.
