traveling through europe, you encounter an imperceptible sense of history that whispers from the cobblestone streets and ancient architecture; it's like stepping into a summary of centuries. even the cold-shoulder from a busy parisian waiter brings you back to the start of your journey, filled with awe and the pre-committal excitement of discovering new cultures. the changes in the air, the flavors, and the sounds are subtle, yet they capture your heart in ways that are hard to describe, gently reminding you that every corner of this continent has a story to whisper, if only you listen closely.
