Paula is joined by Camille and Rosalie (friends from way back in Sydney) to talk real talk: 40-degree days in Puglia that wrecked a meticulously planned itinerary, buildings across Europe that simply aren't built for heat, the post-COVID over-tourism explosion, and why they're all rethinking when and where they travel.
IN THIS EPISODE
Is Europe genuinely too hot to sightsee in June and July?
Why Rosalie felt ripped off in Puglia despite months of planning
The air conditioning problem in old European buildings
Over-tourism reality: Mykonos, Dubrovnik, Rome and the queue situation
Should travellers rethink WHERE they go, not just when?
Alternatives: Scandinavia, Scotland, Ireland, Asia — or just off-season Europe
Favourite destinations: Sardinia, Malta, Albania (bucket list!), Calabria
Why May and September might be the smarter European travel windows
Winter travel in Europe — surprisingly good (Poland in the snow!)
Running this podcast takes a lot of coffee (and countless hours exploring every destination!). If you found this helpful and want to support more honest, detailed travel guides and itineraries, you can buy me a coffee. No pressure though – I'm just happy you're here and hope you have an incredible adventure! 🙂
