Authentic European Travel Guides & Real Stories from an Australian Couple

Welcome to Our Way Through Europe! We are an Australian couple dedicated to exploring the continent the way real people do—slowly, honestly, and with plenty of room for surprises. After our extensive journeys in 2019 and 2024, our 2025 adventures took us deeper into the heart of France, Switzerland, Germany, and the stunning Isle of Sicily.

We don't believe in 'fluffing' things up. Here, you’ll find down-to-earth travel stories, practical planning tips for Australians, and honest cost breakdowns to help you plan your own European holiday. Whether you are dreaming of the fairytale canals of Alsace or navigating the backstreets of Italy, our guides are built from real first-hand experiences. As we begin our long-term planning for 2027, we invite you to explore our stories and use our lessons to make your next journey smoother, smarter, and more authentic.

Why a Blog?

Back in 2019 we began exploring Europe, and somewhere between the train rides, old towns and unexpected moments in Spain and Portugal, we completely fell in love with the continent. What started as a simple travel journal (now our blog), Our Way Through Europe has become a place to record our memories, store our favourite photos and share our experiences with family, friends and anyone dreaming of their own Europe adventure. If you want to know who we are, you can start with our “About Us” page, or dive straight into our travel blogs, destination guides and the journeys that shaped this site.

Europe 2025

In May 2024 we travelled through Italy and Southern France with close friends, a trip full of laughter, good food and the kind of moments that stay with you. In 2025 it was just the two of us, wandering through more of wonderful Europe at our own pace. This time we explored France, Switzerland, Germany and Austria, before ending our journey on the beautiful Isle of Sicily. Along the way we discovered charming, lesser‑known towns, quiet corners and experiences that reminded us why we love travelling this continent so much. This journal is our personal diary and blog, a place to record our memories, share our favourite photos and offer practical tips for anyone planning their own European adventure. Everything we learned on this trip will help shape our next big journey in 2027, as we continue finding our way through Europe one story at a time.
