Welcome back to Notes From Europe, the travel podcast for thoughtful explorers who want more than just pretty pictures — they want a trip that actually feels good.

In Episode 2 of Season One: How to Plan a Trip to Europe, Angela rethinks what it means to “budget” for travel. Yes, money matters — but what about your time and mental energy, too?

This episode invites you to shift your mindset about the resources you spend, so your trip doesn't just look great on paper… it feels great in real life.

🎧 In this episode:

– Why choosing your destination last might make planning easier

– The hidden cost of “saving money” on flights or hotels

– Angela’s story of a too-packed itinerary, and why she’ll never do it again

– A reflection prompt to help you plan for peace, not just price
