Does anyone have any tips or advice? Places and Cities you loved and would recommend? Mainly Western Europe.
Thanks

Dervla Murphy:
'Where the Indus is Young'
"One winter, Dervla Murphy and her six-year-old daughter Rachel walked into the Karakoram mountains in the frozen heart of the Western Himalayas and along the perilous Indus Gorge. Accompanied only by a gallant polo pony, they encountered conditions that tested the limits of their ingenuity, endurance, and courage. Hair-raising, gloriously subjective, and with the quirky vitality of fiction, the resulting book is a classic of travel writing"
I guess that was a set itinerary, but I love her sense of adventure, and love of travel.

I know you asked for tips/advice, but i felt compelled to offer inspiration.
Sorry if OT
