Europe

Greek Islands 🇬🇷 This post is a continuation of the “Birkinbine EU Trip”. The first post can be found here: London and the Cotswolds The second half of the “Birkinbine EU Trip” took place in the Greek Islands. My mom had done a lot of research before the trip and really wanted to visit the Greek Islands for their great scenery and to escape the very snowy winter they had in Colorado. Our flight to Santorini was scheduled for the evening and if all went smoothly we would get into Santorini around midnight. However, we ran into some… difficulties… ...

London and the Cotswolds 🇬🇧 This trip was a monumental one for my family (Joe, Betsy and Brooks). While I have been “over the pond” and have traveled all over Europe, they haven’t been to Europe before. This would be their first big international trip and we were all extremely excited! Brooks has wanted to visit London for a very long time and years ago Leah and I even gave him a “voucher” for a trip to London and visiting the Harry Potter studio tour. My parents have both wanted to visit Europe for a while and visit some of the many beautiful places that they have heard about and seen photos of. My family decided to make this vision a reality now that Leah and I have more or less been living in London for the past few months. ...

Caragol UK Trip 🇬🇧 While Leah and I were in the UK, Leah’s family came over to visit us and do a whole bunch of traveling all over the UK! Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 We started the trip off by exploring Ireland for several days. Our first stop was to meet Michelle, Ian, and Steve in Dublin. The greater Caragol family flew from Denver ➡️ Dublin, and Leah and I flew from London ➡️ Dublin. ...

Paris The whole reason for this trip to Paris was to see a musician that I have seen a few times before. His name is Apashe and I wrote about going to one of his show’s in a previous blog post. When I was in London a few months ago, Apashe announced that he would be playing a show in Paris but this time it would be at the Bataclan theatre and with a full brass ensemble. I had to go! ...

London and Norway In the fall of 2022 Leah was accepted into one of the best Global Health programs in the UK. She had the opportunity to study at King’s College in London and earn her masters while living abroad. It was pretty darn short notice as when her acceptance came through she had only a few weeks to get a visa before she set sail. At this time it just wasn’t feasible for me to join right away. Between things going on with my family, to work logistics, and getting a visa in a matter of weeks; I just wasn’t able to go right away. Rather than join her right away, I chose to move to Boulder, CO with a long time friend. I would fly back and forth to visit Leah and I felt this was the best way to support her in achieving her dreams while also doing what made sense given the circumstances at the time. ...
