Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

This week I traveled over 875 kilometers, which is about 545 miles. That's just a little less than the distance between New York City and Cincinnati, Ohio!

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I have now traveled more than 2,000 miles since coming to Europe. That's like driving from New York to Mexico City!

How did I get around this week?:

This week, I took a road trip with a few of my friends, so most of my traveling was done in a car. German highways, called the Autobahn, are so much fun to drive on. There's no official speed limit, so, as long as you're safe, you can go as fast as you want!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Our road trip destination was Amsterdam, which was easily the most interesting place I visited this week. Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands, which is a country bordering Germany on its northwest border. Most people in the Netherlands speak Dutch, a language which is very similar to written German but very different from spoken German!

Other Travel News from this week:

Traveling between countries in Europe is actually very easy. You don't need to show your passport as long as you stay within the Schengen Area, which is an area made up of 26 European countries that all use the same visa policy.
