Entry #8: Germany and Hungary

Growing up in England, I had the opportunity to travel around Europe and see many of the popular sites, but I never had the chance to visit Germany. I think Germany is a really intriguing place, especially with all the history that lies there from the past 100 years. Since many of my family members in the past few generations have been affected by the World Wars, I want to go visit the concentration camps and other historical sites in Germany to see what they went through.

Not only can I visit many places over Germany, I can also head over to Sweden and the other close countries where I can check off more places on my bucket list. This past December, my mother, grandfather and aunt went to Hungary and Germany. They came back with many stories to tell and nothing but good reviews. My family originated partially from hungary which really makes me want to go visit. I still have family members over there and there are many hungarian foods and traditions that we celebrate in our own home. Europe is so beautiful and the top of my bucket list is to visit all the countries in Europe and luckily, I have already made a great start!
