Europe Is Our Playground is a platform dedicated to slow tourism and travel editorials. We host a small, evolving collection of experiences told through post-tourism travel stories, reviews and editorials.

As a blog, Europe Is Our Playground is fixated on highlighting everything wonderful and unusual about travel in Europe and beyond.  As a collection of places, it is a travel journal, while in its writing it is an effort to celebrate individuality and taste in an industry that has become sedate, uniform, and unromantic.

We don’t advertise but we do sometimes host content we like and that fits with our ethos of intentional, experiential travel, though this will always be clearly marked.

We occasionally use affiliate links for hotels, specifically hotels that resonate with us after we have visited and that we believe are wonderful experiences that we want to share, whether in Europe or the rest of the world. One such example is the exceptional Amanoi (read our review) in Vietnam.
