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'm celebrating the holidays and my 40th birthday with a 3 week trip to Germany to visit Christmas Markets.  I hope you enjoy the content and don't forget to follow me on TikTokInstagram, and Facebook for even more videos!
