(Disclaimer: Hi everyone, you might have noticed the title and thought I was revisiting the topic of my international travels. However, there's a unique reason for this particular blog post. During this month-long journey, I ventured alone and explored four incredible countries in Europe: the UK, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany.
