Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Visit Europe Now!

It has been a while since I last wrote for any Top 5 posts except “Top 5 travel attractions” on destination which are actually guest post by some experienced travel blogger around the world. When I was flipping through my photos taken in Europe last night, I could feel my excitement of visiting Europe still remained strong inside my mind. That was why I’ve booked another flight to Eastern Europe next year! 🙂 But why is it so? Isn’t visiting Europe an expensive travel and always remained a dream to be realised by many avid travelers around the globe? Why I’m so eager to fly to Europe again next year?

These are 5 reasons why I should and all avid travelers should visit Europe now, I mean NOW!

  1. Euro currency had reached its new low level! Value of Euro has depreciated over 20% since January early this year, and it’s still dropping. What used to be expensive in Europe has now become reasonable! The cost of traveling to and visiting Europe is now 20% cheaper! Let’s do some calculation: If I were to visit Europe last Summer, my total traveling cost for 15 days was RM10,000.00 (USD3,200). If I’m traveling to Europe now for the same period, it would be RM8,000.00 (USD2,500) only!!
  2. Heritage sites in Europe are in danger of extinction! Major attractions in Europe are mostly inscribed as UNESCO Heritage sites. Over time, many of them are really run-down! European countries are spending huge amount of money restoring and maintaining those sites. You could see many of the restoration works being carried out everywhere in Europe heritage sites. What would happen to them in next few years?

  1. Global warming is causing more natural disasters! Pollutions caused by human are creating worse global warming and green house effect to our earth than ever before. This are causing more and more natural disasters happening each year. Global weather has also become unpredictable sometimes, it can snow in Spring or hit record high temperature in Summer. When I traveled to Europe last May, ash cloud was covering most parts of Western Europe. We had to play by ear when planning our itinerary. What would happen in future?
  2. Competitions among budget airlines has reached its new high! Budget airlines are ruling the air space nowadays where everyone is opting for cheap flight whenever they are flying. This uptrend has stimulated the booming of this sector of the aviation industry. Stiff competition among budget airlines helped in bringing the air fares down to even zero cost!
  3. Digital photography has reached its maturity! After 10 tens of its introduction to consumers level, digital cameras have now the ability of taking great photos that are comparable to films. Its advantage over the film is Digital cameras can take as many photos as you like, with just the matter of how many Gb of SDHC or Compact flash cards you are bringing along your travel. In my case, I brought 4 memory cards along my Europe travel and had taken over 4000 photos! In this matured market, we can now buy a DSLR system for as low as USD600 and still able to take awesome travel photos!
