    The Anti-Rushed Europe Trip: London, Trains & a Rhine River Cruise

    This week on Where She Goes, we’re talking about a different way to experience Europe. It's one that doesn’t involve racing from city to city. We’re breaking down a trip that combines a few days in London, European train travel, and a Rhine River cruise, and how to make the most of each destination without trying to do it all. Then, we’re slowing things down on the Rhine River, exploring the benefits of guided tours, memorable meals and cultural experiences, the history and stories of the Rhine, and the flexibility of having bikes on board and splitting up for different excursions.
