To Europe and Beyond
Although this title makes you believe it’s written by a European, Montreal-based Marie-Eve Vallieres is just in love with Europe. She admits she can’t stay away from the continent for more than a few months, and her particularly favorite area is northwestern Europe. But as her title suggests, her blog goes beyond Europe and around the world. Marie-Eve says she wants to show her readers that travel can be “empowering and safe, luxurious yet sensible, fulfilling on various aspects.”
