Europe is one of my favorite destinations when it comes to travel. Perhaps it’s because you can get such a different experience because the countries are in such a close proximity.

The trip I will be hitting Russia, Kazakhstan, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, and Norway in the span of about a week and a half.

This will be my first time to Kazakhstan and doing some research I have discovered that I will be there during the annual Oil and Gas Exhibition. This has caused some of the top hotels to be fully booked. I will be staying at a Hyatt which hasn’t received exactly spectacular online reviews.

I’m very excited to be returning to the motherland, Sweden. It’s been almost two years since I was last there. I’ll have to take an extra suitcase to smuggle all the Musli Frukt and cheese back to the USA.
