The Secret to Europe Travel

     As in…the secret of being able to travel in Europe, no matter your age / circumstance

We love to travel.

We are so excited for our upcoming trip to Europe. So excited!

When you are excited about something, you want to talk about it. It’s natural! That’s why you want to tell people about your new gadget, your favorite restaurant. Heck, random strangers on the street knew about it when my oldest daughter was potty-trained. So, of course, it makes sense that we would tell people about our upcoming trip to Europe that we are so excited about.

We were a little taken aback at some of the responses we got. Most of our friends were excited for us, but some were a little taken aback. “Europe? Really?” Honestly, we got the impression that by traveling to Europe we were setting ourselves on a different level than our friends that live in starter homes and drive older cars.

But here’s a secret of life. You will always have enough money to do what you want.

Think about it, because it is absolutely true. If something is important to you – truly important – you will make sure that it gets done.

Our friends have money. Not tons of money – none of us do, at least in our social circle. They just have different priorities.

Europe travel is not our #1 priority – it falls well behind family and church, among other things  – but it is important to us. By making it a priority, by following our passion and basing our decisions around that priority, we make it happen.

What decisions do you make that show how important travel is to you? Leave your thoughts in the comments below! Remember, no negative judging – we’re all willing to go to different lengths for our passions, but sharing the sacrifices we make we might give you some ideas.
