Wander Your Way: Europe Travel Your Way

In this Listener Q&A episode, I’m answering a great question from Susan: What’s the best type of accommodation for a trip to Europe? 

From hotels and guest houses to apartments, cottages, and even hostels, the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. 

It really depends on your travel style, budget, length of stay and who you’re traveling with. 

I share some practical guidelines to help you decide when a hotel makes the most sense (especially in bigger cities), when a B&B or guest house can give you that more local feel, and why apartments or self-catering stays can be ideal for groups, families or longer visits.

I also talk about finding locally owned places using regional booking sites and tourism boards.

And I remind you to think about where your travel dollars go. 

Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple or with a group, this short, info-packed episode will help you choose accommodations that fit your trip.

And maybe even make it more memorable.

Note: These Listener Q&A episodes don’t have a companion blog post, so you’ll only find this one in your favorite podcast app. Happy listening!
