Heading towards the surprisingly warm Alps with the numbing, celestial, vibrant white snow is a memory to be treasured. Exploring, the wonderful and ancient monuments of Italy along with the sight of the Colosseum is surely a treat. Having a peer at the beauty and peace in Netherlands is mother nature at it’s very best. Crossing the border of Netherlands leads you to another land of specialty, Belgium. Biting the crunchy, irresistible, mouth-watering chocolate waffles is a joy, along with the palatable, beautiful Belgian chocolate. Sighting the modern city of London with the unlimited amount of entertainment is amazing yet it does get extremely busy. Wave to the country next to England, Wales to have a soaking autumn’s day climbing up the tallest mountain in Wales(Mount. Snowdon). Going across the English channel making the way to France to stare at the prolonged Eiffel tower and grabbing a souvenir is quite an adequate journey. Finally, ambling below the warm blistering bright sun in India and driving along the loud, long roads is a journey to be had. Travelling in these mind-blowing countries is definitely a wonderful experience, but have you travelled in these roads?

It feels like sheer heaven with the clear cloud-like snow and the beautiful blue sky.
The captivating designed wooden chalets are remarkable to look at but even better inside. Switzerland is an alluring place to transverse, every part of it was amazing.
