As cool as it may seem to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris, or Venice with its beautiful network of canals, the reality is that once you get there, you may be surprised and overwhelmed by the amount of tourists. Luckily, there are many parts of Europe that are still filled with stunning places off the beaten path!
Here at Workaway, we want travellers to stop counting countries and instead, embrace culture, connection and curiosity! Nothing is more rewarding than the road less travelled, and discovering amazing hidden gems away from tourists, queues and crowds.
We recently came across the story of workawayers Anna and Marcin, a Polish couple who are pretty much living the dream. They quit their jobs for a life of slow travel, cycled from their home country all the way to Greece – AND brought their dog along on their adventures! We just need to find out more about their awesome journey.
Why do we travel? To meet people, to see amazing sights, to learn new languages, or purely just to get out there to see the world? Whatever the reason we travel, have you noticed how we have become obsessed with counting countries?! Uploading the most Instagrams and trying to conquer every continent? Why do we travel with so much urgency now?
