How to break up with Europe?

I’ve been to Europe twice in the past two years, and somewhere along the way, I got hopelessly attached. Every trip was magical. The history, the cafés, the culture, the trains, the random little bakeries tucked away in alleys, it all just clicked. Now it’s travel planning season again, and every time I sit down to pick a destination, my heart drifts right back to Europe. Italy? Sure. Spain? Why not. Maybe a charming little village in France? Yes please. But then a voice in my head says: “Come on. There’s a whole world out there. You can’t just keep going back to Europe forever.” And yet… here I am, daydreaming about cobblestone streets, fresh croissants and the wine (how can I forget the wine!), instead of exploring somewhere new. So, fellow travellers! How do I break up with Europe? Or at least, take a healthy break? Have you ever fallen for a destination this way? And how did you push yourself to choose something completely new and different after that? Would love to hear your recommendations, which might help me rebound. --- **Post Details:** - **Subreddit:** r/travel - **Author:** u/Ok-Crow-9789 - **Score:** 10 upvotes - **Upvote Ratio:** 75.0% - **Comments:** 28 - **Posted:** 7/6/2025 - **URL:** https://reddit.com/r/travel/comments/1lt4czm/how_to_break_up_with_europe/
