We went to four different countries on my first trip ever across the Atlantic. Saying that I was excited would be an understatement. We all know I’m a foodie, right? If you didn’t, you’ll soon learn. This blog doesn’t quite expand on that part of me quite yet, but feed me and I’ll be your best friend. Ok, that’s a lie, feed me good food and I’ll like you a lot. So, our destinations included: London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.
