Europe Trip – 6 Months, 16 Countries, 55 Cities, 11 Languages

55 cities,

16 countries.

That's one third of the 44 countries in Europe.

And 8% of the world, out of the 195 countries in the world.

And that's the number of places I've covered in 6 months while travelling around Europe from January to June 2015.

Equipped with my Europe packing list, I set off to Europe for the first time, and I've discovered a world far bigger than I've imagined.
