ABOUT ME

Welcome to Historic European Castles!

My name is Chrissy and I am the founder of this Travel Blog.

Here you will find any information you are looking regarding your forthcoming trip to Europe!

If you cannot find what you are looking for contact me and I will do my best to help you.

Since I can remember myself I was passionate about traveling. Every summer I used to travel to the Greek islands of Crete and Lemnos to spend some time with my grandmothers. At the age of 8 I made my first trip abroad to Italy, following by the next one 3  years later to Kenya and Egypt.

Traveling always felt so natural to me, I always wanted to explore the world and so far I have managed to travel to 17 countries.

Organizing trips was always my vantage point so after the encouragement of my friends I decided to start this blog which I currently run full-time.
