Living on a ship can be a beautiful experience- READ all about it here.
Hi there! My name is Menorca.Thanks for visiting Europe Diaries: a travel blog for the culturally curious. If you like exploring different destinations, finding out about different cultures, off-beat experiences, myths, all the best vegetarian food and reading stories from fellow travellers from all over the world, then you are at the right place!
A bit about myself:I am named after a beautiful Spanish island, which I am yet to visit. My parents took me sailing around the world right when I was 3 months old until I was nearly 6. Though we did see and do a lot of cool things, it’s a pity I only remember very little of it. Anyhow, I guess that’s how the travel bug was implanted in me!
I’ve been away from home for almost 20 years now, though have been in Europe for almost 15 of those years. And in this time, I happened to stay either along the River Rhine or the Neckar in Germany and Switzerland. In fact, that’s how I started this blog.
. I derive happiness in walking along the river and experiencing the bliss of being cradled by nature. I love travelling, sharing my experiences ,communicating stories and helping out all of you. I do spend quite a lot of time looking for the best options while planning my travels, as I aim at spending less and exploring more.

If you would like to know how I feel about living abroad, you could check out my interview published on Expatfocus who also picked my blog as one of the 5 recommended expat blogs of Switzerland 🙂 Though you can find a few poems on this blog, I had once tried to write a poem in 100 words, based on a very personal experience, which is posted on my other blog. I was interviewed about it by WildSound Festival Review, and you could check out the interview here
I was also working with Migreat throughout 2015 and contributed over 100 articles to help expats settle in Germany.
