Are you wondering whether the time has finally come to escape to Europe this summer but still feel apprehensive to pull the trigger on travel plans?
Travel Journalist and NY times contributor Paige McClanahan shares her thoughts on traveling Europe in 2021 from the unique perspective of someone who left the U.S. in 2008 to travel the world, eventually settling down in a small village in the French Alps.
If you are someone who is itching to travel to Europe but invested in being a responsible and respectful world citizen in a post-pandemic world, then you don’t want to miss this episode.Â
