A European Bucket List

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.

One of my favorite views is out the window of a plane. Normally because that means I got the window seat & I get to take a nap. But most importantly because when you fly above the clouds it puts life in a different perspective. Whether you are going to a new city to explore or returning home.
The look out of that window always means adventure to me.
