Taking the Great Montenegro Tour with 360 Monte
When I arrived into Kotor, I knew one thing immediately: "Meagan, you're gonna need to see as much of Montenegro as possible." I was stunned by the natural beauty of this country, and I knew that I wanted to experience more before I left. After having traveled to...
Floating the Guadalupe River
If we’re being honest, I’m not very fond of quick, weekend getaways. “Whaaaat? What is this heresy you speak of??” I know, I know. What kind of proper travel enthusiast am I? But here’s the deal - I hate the idea of rushing away my weekends. I like relaxing and...
Taking Topdeck | Mykonos and Athens
Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world with history dating back thousands of years. Mykonos is one of the biggest up and coming party islands in Europe. So what happens when two cities that are polar opposites collide on a trip through Europe? A glamorous...
Taking Topdeck | Greek Island Sailing
Late last year when I was trying to decide which tour to take with Topdeck, I vividly remember yearning for a chance to see Greece. When I saw that Topdeck offered three days sailing through the Greek islands, I couldn't throw my money at them fast enough. Three days...
Taking Topdeck | Rome
Rome merges young and old together in almost every way. Modern technology in shops and cafes can be right next door to ancient ruins that have endured close to 2,000 years. New and old religious traditions come together through the Vatican City. Young and old alike...
Taking Topdeck | Florence
Florence is overwhelmingly full. Full of history, full of fascinating beginnings, and, unfortunately, full of a few long lines. The sheer amount of brilliant minds that have come and gone through Florence will make you feel like your life has not been lived to the...
Taking Topdeck | Venice
Venice was like being in a magical, alternate universe. The beauty of 118 small islands joining together by crescent bridges and winding canals makes you feel like you've stepped into a dream. Venice is often referred to as The Floating City after being built on the...
Taking Topdeck | Nice
If my soul was a city, it would be Nice. As soon as I caught a glimpse of the royal blue Mediterranean Ocean and the stark white yachts, it captured my heart. The peace of Nice washed over me like the Mediterranean washed over my toes - gentle and refreshing. [gallery...
Taking Topdeck | Barcelona
People from all around the world sign up to travel with Topdeck. After spending day after day with these fellow Topdeckers, I can honestly say that I cannot imagine doing this trip without them. I thought I would take the city of Barcelona as an opportunity to...
Taking Topdeck | Avignon
Avignon was a lot like an illusion. Though the city was absolutely breathtaking, it often felt artificial like an amusement park back home. I would be surrounded by small cafes and cobbled streets, yet I felt largely uneasy. As I walked further into this compact city,...
Taking Topdeck | Interlaken
Driving into Interlaken was like driving into a postcard picture. The town's vibrant colors are both individually as well as collectively beautiful. Each color demands your eye's attention, and together they are like a...
Taking Topdeck | Paris
Paris was one of the leading cities during the Age of Enlightenment, which makes sense of why this city has the ability to stir your soul's core. As I walked down the busy boulevards of Paris and passed its incomparable architecture, I began to feel inspired and...
Taking Topdeck | Off to London
By the time I landed in London, I was ready to put the airport behind me. My nervous nausea turned into just simple nausea. I was exhausted from sleeping in my 90 degree angle on the plane, and I had a long day ahead of me in London. But as soon as I stepped off the...
