“Studying in Italy, I chose to make a solo trip from Milano to Krakow, where I saw Auschwitz-Birkinau and absorbed the great nightlife in the city. I later went by train to beautiful Prague. The city view from Prague Castle at night is a must-see. I hopped a bus to Berlin, which has become my favorite city in Europe. So much to do, so much culture, new, and fairly cheap. Great trip with a great price tag for my thin wallet. Many spectacular stories were made in each of these cities.” - Brian

“This photo was taken on our honeymoon trip. The hike up to the top of Farewell Gap was a long stretch of exposed and narrow switchbacks. When we got to the top of the gap, the wind was incredible. We were able to lean into the wind and be supported by it. The view was incredible, and then we started down the other side of the valley to make camp.” - Beth
