2017 TRAVEL RECAP

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
i hope you all had a good start into 2018 so far?

a little late – but better late than never – i want to give you a quick overview of all the paces i got to visit last year.  i gotta say 2017 was a quite good travel year! i got to visit a total of 8 countries (3 of which i’ve never been to before) and also took some time to see more of my home country austria.

---

so without further ado, here’s my 2017 travel recap:

1. MÉXICO

in february i got to visit méxico for the first time ever. my two fellow travel barbies and i stayed in cancún for 10 days and explored all of the riviera maya. i think i can speak for all of us when i say that this was one of the best vacations of 2017!

PS: if you don’t know yet, that vacation is where my blog got its name from! find out more here.

2. CZECH REPUBLIC

in may the travel barbie squad struck again – we took a weekend trip to prague. this was definitely a super fun (and spontaneous) trip we’ll never forget. for so many reasons! more on that another time though. 😂

3. USA

this is a must every year. some of you might or might not know that  did a high school exchange to michigan when i was 16 so i try to go back at least once a year to visit my friends and family.

4. LIECHTENSTEIN

liechtenstein is the sixth smallest country in the world and also shares a border with austria. i’ve wanted to visit this tiny country for so long so during the 4-days-4-countries-roadtrip my boyfriend and i did in august we just hopped by. and absolutely loved it there.

5. SWITZERLAND

i’ve actually been to switzerland 3 times this year. first time for new year’s 16/17, then during the 4-days-4-countries-roadtrip my boyfriend and i did in august and then again for new year’s 17/18. guess my favorite country!

6. BELGIUM

another country i hadnt been to before! one of the travel barbie girls worked in belgium during summer break sooo of course we had to hop on a plane and visit her there. we got to explore each the capital brussels and the seaside town knokke for a day.

7. GERMANY

i actually went to germany twice in 2017 – once just for a quick stopover in munich during our 4-days-4-countries-roadtrip and once when i went to berlin for a week in september with my momma bear. my mom and i travel together all the time and i’m so happy we get along so well!!!

8. SLOVAKIA

in october my boyfriend and i did a danube cruise from vienna to bratislava and enjoyed an eventful day in vienna’s beautiful twin city.  the city is just sooo beautiful and unique – we loved it there!

BONUS: AUSTRIA

again during our 4-days-4-countries-roadtrip my boyfriend and i spent some time in vorarlberg (i finally visited all 9 federal states of austria now – yay!) and then in november we did a daytrip to hallstatt and admont abbey which was on my list for so long. so happy i finally got to go there!

i haven’t managed to upload blogposts for all those destinations yet (thanks college..) but they’re all going to get uploaded asap, i promise!

so here’s to 2018 – may it be just as full of travels and adventures as 2017 was!
