I Went On A Road Trip Around Europe For 6 Months, Here’s What I Learned
Lessons from life on the road.
I have just got back from driving around Europe for the best part of half a year.
Starting in Ireland on 31 March, we drove over 22,000 miles around Europe in 6 months visiting nearly every country on the continent!
The trip has been eye-opening in many ways. From the logistics of driving around the continent, to the culture of the various countries and the people I have met along the way, it’s been an experience I will never forget.
Europe is a beautiful place and it has been a pleasure to travel around and see more of it. I believe road trips are the best way to travel as you can choose your own pace and travel on your terms.
While the trip had many brilliant moments, there were also times when events did not go according to plan. There were moments where tensions between those of us on the trip reached boiling point.
Whenever you undergo a long trip such as this, there are always periods of soaring highs and times when you plummet to low depths. The important thing is to learn from these moments and use them as lessons.
Below are a few things I learnt from six months and 22,000 miles of driving around Europe.
