How to Plan Your Europe Trip - Free Guide

An honest starting point for planning your first trip across Europe — from a certified travel advisor who has travelled all over and has lived in Europe for 2+ years.

Start Here!

Hello and welcome to Amelie Travels! I moved to Europe in 2024, with no real plan - just a suitcase and a one way ticket. Now I have been living in Barcelona and I spend most of my time as a travel advisor planning trips across Europe for people who want it done right, not just done fast. This guide is the conversation I wish someone had had with me before my first trip here: no generic "top 10 things to do" lists, just the decisions that actually matter.

Who is this for?

- You're planning a trip to Europe — first time or fifth — and want it to actually go well, not just happen - You're tired of generic "50 best cities in Europe" lists that tell you nothing useful - You'd rather hear one honest opinion than ten polite options - You're happy to do some of the planning yourself, but want to skip the guesswork and the rookie mistakes

What you will learn?

- How to choose destinations that actually make sense together - The honest truth about when to visit (it's not summer) - Trains vs. flights vs. buses — when to use what - Why location matters more than your hotel star rating - The one money mistake almost every first-timer makes

Everything I wish I knew before my first Europe trip
