By I had a spectacular day for many reasons, one being I found out I’ll be working in Essex, England this summer. I’m both terrified and absolutely ecstatic about the opportunity. It’s a 10 week internship and I plan to make the most of every second. My employers have already told me I’ll be working 4 day weeks and given the long weekend to travel.
This is where you come in.
I would love help building an itinerary for a European adventure. I know three days isn’t nearly enough time to really immerse myself and explore hidden gems some of these countries hold. There will be plenty for me to do in England and would also love some advice as to what to see and do this summer there. This really is a dream come true and I’m grateful to have this opportunity this summer.

An amazing opportunity. Make sure you visit Wales, Ireland and Scotland! In particular Edinburgh and North Wales and Pembrokeshire coast. These are perfect for weekend getaways. If your looking for somewhere further afield Prague is amazing! Hope this helps.

Mega bus is a great option that we use all the time. You can get from London to Wales for a few pounds. Flights London to Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast are also affordable and quick.

Such an amazing opportunity! I would say visit the Lake District, it has some amazing views and it’s just a beautiful place to visit. London would be a definite embrace the city, take a tour bus round all the significant places! I hope you have a fab time! I’m sure you will! Don’t work too hard x

Congratulations Drake! This sounds like a killer opportunity. I most certainly recommend that ou visit Paris! You can take the Eurostar for cheap if you plan ahead and it takes two hours or less to emerge on the other side of the English Channel.
I believe someone mentioned Prague and Ireland which I completely agree with! Getting to Europe is the hardest part, after that there are so many destinations at you fingertips for a reasonable price.
Cheers and congratulations! Holler if you’re ever in Paris.
