Literally the trip of a lifetime and I could’ve stayed longer with the people I met. I wasn’t sure contiki would be for me regarding the social aspect as my social battery can drain quickly however it absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way. I loved meeting my now new best friends and am still so sad that it’s over! The only bad part of the trip was saying goodbye. The care of our trip manager and driver was second to none, they went above and beyond for us on an organisation level as well as being so compassionate and checking in with how we are everyday. The free time add ons were all incredible, especially the paragliding and white water rafting in Austria. The Contiki Chateau and Contiki Haus were so memorable and a truly unique experience. I will never forget any of it and want to do it all again.

What worked well about our trip was that before the trip even began we took it upon ourselves to meet up for drinks to allow ourselves to get the know each other a bit before the trip started. This was useful and and think it would be good for other groups to do as well because it meant that on day one we weren’t complete strangers and we had an idea of who a couple people were. The destinations that we went to everyday were breathtaking and even though we’re saw so much each day was a new adventure and experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. Going on the European Adventure allowed me to meet people who have now become life long friends that I can’t imagine my life without them while also allowing me to tick off placed on my bucket list that I never thought I would have been able to see. This trip had thought me so much not only about myself but also about Europe and the history of the world that we live in.
