Spending a weekend in Paris is definitely not enough time for this romantic and charming city, but I will take what I can get.  Paris was one of those places I knew I just had to see while living in Europe. After a quick 48 hours in Paris, I can confidently say it surpassed my expectations and is just as lovely as all the 90s films portray it to be.

The Howth Cliffs are located northeast of Dublin and have over 10 miles of hiking and walking trails with views of Lambay's Island, Irelands Eye, the village of Howth, and the gorgeous, rocky coastline.  While walking you can smell the ocean and overwhelming scent of coconut from the yellow gorse on the heath.  In every direction you'll find breathtaking views and I think I took more pictures in one day than I have in a while, there was just so much to see.

The Greek Islands were everything I dreamed they would be and more.  The atmosphere and landscape was picturesque, the people were extremely kind, and the food was to die for. I went in hoping it would be a trip of a lifetime and it really was. Sailing allowed us to see so much more of the islands than we would have otherwise and gave us a whole new perspective.  

Just a little over an hour drive south of Munich you'll find the beautiful Eibsee Lake in Bavaria near Garmisch and Zugspitze Mountain.  If you're visiting Munich for a few days or in the area this should really be at the top of your list on places to see.
