I've always wanted to visit Christmas Markets in Europe. In 2022 I took my first trip to do just that and went on a multi-country European Christmas trip. It was epic and I decided that I would have to do it again. In 2023, I celebrated the holidays and my 40th birthday with a 3 week trip to Germany to visit Christmas Markets. This year, in 2024, I am hosting a group trip to the German Christmas markets as well as exploring markets in other countries.
