Your Ultimate European Road Trip

Just one of many great options.

Two years ago I went on a road trip through Europe to celebrate me graduating from high school. We went to many great places throughout Europe and I want to share my route with all of you, hopefully, you'll get some inspiration. Of course, this is not the only route that you can take, but this was mine, so I just write what I know.

1. Berlin, Germany

Berlin is a really cool city. I did find the 'must-sees' a bit disappointing, but we also did an 'underground' city tour that went to all of these unusual places in the city that you wouldn't go to on your own. This was the most fun thing we did in this city!

2. Krakow, Poland

Krakow is really beautiful, and also really cheap. Although it isn't really a big city, you can roam around just fine. It has a really big shopping mall and a few fun places you can visit. We also went to concentration camp 'Auschwitz', which is really close by. That was a really overwhelming experience.

3. Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, and it is immensely touristic. But the city deserves it, it is really beautiful and if you search a bit deeper there are also many interesting places hidden in plain sight. I would say that when you've seen this city once, you don't have to see it again. But that's my personal opinion.

4. Vienna, Austria

Vienna was the most beautiful city of the entire tour. The buildings, palaces, everything was so beautiful. We also went to the zoo, which is the oldest zoo in the world! I also really loved the Sissie museum, about the legendary Empress Elisabeth.

5. Hunedoara, Romania

Hunedoara itself was a bit underwhelming, but we were expecting that. We went specifically for the Dracula castle, which is located there. Romania was a really beautiful country tho, and really cheap too. I would definitely go back, but not to Hunedoara.

6. Zagreb, Croatia

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and a really beautiful city. It has lots of interesting museums and it has a great atmosphere. It was really warm tho when we were there in the middle of the summer. Spring would be the better season to visit I think.

7. Budapest, Hungary

Budapest is such a young and energetic city. There's a lot of youth in the city and the nightlife is really energetic. There are great karaoke bars and the city itself is also really beautiful. You should definitely do a city tour.

8. Ljubljana (& Bled), Slovenia

Ljubljana was the most surprising city during all of the tours. It was really small, but there was so much to see and do. We also went to Bled during a day trip, just 30 minutes by train. It's a really beautiful lake with waterfalls nearby. You should definitely do a day trip when you're there.

9. Verona, Italy

The city of Romeo and Juliet, the city of Shakespeare's love story. This is a typical Italian city with lots of high fashion houses and a Roman arena. Definitely worth a visit, extremely touristic tho.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
