Sunday Social | Travel

I sure love to travel and I sure love to talk about traveling.

Lucky for me, we're talking all things travel today for Sunday Social with Neely and Ashley.

1. Best trip you've ever been on

Hands down: Europe 2001

I traveled to Europe that Summer with a Student Ambassador program and had THE time of my life. Going abroad for the first time with a bunch of other teenagers? It just doesn't get any better than that.

We visited France, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland.

While Venice was my favorite city...

Austria was my favorite country...

I had the opportunity to do SO many things I never thought I'd be able to do:

Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower

Visit the Lourve and Versailles

Take a tour of the Colosseum and 

Go white water rafting in the Swiss Alps

Go underground into the Salzburg salt mines

Be taken on a gondola ride

See the Mona Lisa, Statue of David, Sistine Chapel, etc.

and so much more!

It was truly the trip of a lifetime and opened up my eyes to this beautiful world!!

2. Best idea for a girls' weekend trip

Only a weekend? Sigh. If we only had a weekend...

New Orleans

[via]

New Orleans has always been one of those cities on my "To Visit" list. It's located pretty central in the U.S. so if any blogger friends want to meet me there, it'd be pretty convenient to all of us [ahem, let's go!]

I feel like for the first trip to New Orleans, a weekend should be the perfect amount of time to really soak up the Cajun culture and make me fall in love with the unique town. It's also SUCH a great spot for the girls to get away and have a little fun :)

3. Best idea for a couples trip

Disney World!!!

[via]

I've been there with family, I've been there with friends, now I want to go with couples.

The thought of riding The Tower of Terror, seeing which couple can get the dizziest in the Teacups, and taking pictures with all our favorite Disney characters - c'mon, it'd be the best trip!

So, once I find Prince Charming, who's coming with us? :)

4. Best vacation on the cheap

CRUISE!

I've been on two cruises and they were both while I was a "broke college student."

As if the all-inclusive all-you-can-eat perk isn't enough, you also get other awesome amenities such as fun shows to attend every night, lots of great sunbathing, dance clubs, gambling if you're into that sort of thing, spas, and sometimes cool things like surfing and rock climbing. All while visiting a bunch of fun countries/islands.
You can find great deals on cruises which, to me, makes it one of the most affordable options.

5. Place I most want to travel to

This is tough, but...

[via]

Australia!!

Australia has been at the top of my list since I can remember because I have family there!

To me, it's the perfect destination.

You have the beaches, the city, and an awesome culture! [And in my case, family, too!]

Now, on to what I'd be packing in my bag:

1. DSLR camera to snap those new memories

2. A medium-size cross-body bag to hold all your stuff while also keeping your arms free

3. Your sunnies

4. Call me crazy but I love wearing comfy sandals when doing a lot of vacation walking

5. I LOVE this Vera Bradley travel wallet which even holds your boarding pass!

Been to any of these places? What are your answers?
