The good thing about Europe is that you have so many different cultures and languages concentrated within a geographically tiny area. There is also so much history, spanning thousands of years.
So far I have been to France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Italy (IMO the most beautiful country in the world), and Cyprus - where I lived for a couple of years.
In 3 weeks time I am going to Rome for a few days and I can't wait!!
In England we do tend to regard ourselves as being seperate from Europe to a certain extent - not just in the geographical sense, but in a wider sense too.
