Hi, I’m Nancy, and I’m here to share some of my personal stories about traveling to Europe solo and on a budget for the very first time when I was 69. Since then, I’ve made another trip at age 75, and during summer and early fall, 2026, I’ll be on another long trip. Altogether I’ve spent more than 100 nights in Europe. Along the way you’ll see I like to laugh and share my little mistakes. Oh, and hopefully you will learn something from my experiences. This website will be bare bones before I finish this next trip. In the meantime, enjoy this quick start. The photos below show you the major categories of posts to be found on this site.

The link below a photo leads to one single page of introduction to the topic; that page will then contain links to all of the blog-style stories and anecdotes also relevant to the topic.
