I was having my one year exchange in Nottingham, United Kingdom if you read my previous blog posts. All the things below happened about 10 months ago and now i am currently back in my motherland ^^.
My friends and i were so reluctant to plan our first trip as everything seems so unfamiliar to us. At the end we decided to take up the Winter Euro Trip from Travel Society in UoN partnership with Travelholics Company. HAHA it saved up alot of time and research because we just paid the money online and what we did is just for the day to come LOL :P

Day 5: Salzburg, Austria
Day 6: Munich, Germany
Day 7: Neushwanstein Castle, Germany
Day 8: Mount Titlis, Switzerlands.
Day 9: Paris, France
