That’s awesome!

I was in Europe multiple times last year and 2021, and the air travel part was bad. Like big delays, missed connections (an hour layover is not enough to make connections), and in my case sleeping on the floor of a JFK terminal. Maybe it’s better now.

But Europe was great. There is confusing or unexpected stuff, but treat it like a puzzle to be figured out, be chill and polite, and it’s all part of the trip.

There is no repeat no personal safety issue, in any part of any Western European city or town that you’ll go to. Walking down a Marseille alley at 3 am is safer than, well, knocking on the wrong door in the US seems to be lately. Petty theft and pickpocketing is a thing, some places, but I’ve never had anything stolen in decades and decades of traveling and staying in Western Europe, and I’m only averagely careful.
