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, best of lists, reviews and editorials.

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.

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

We 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. Two such examples are the exceptional Amanoi (read our review) in Vietnam and the idyllic Madama Garden Retreat (read our review) in Venice. 

About the Editor

With a background in luxury fashion and music, Nick began Europe Is Our Playground as a blog to document his travels while living as a digital nomad in Europe. The name was taken from the excellent Suede Song, itself a romantic ode to exploring Europe.

Nick writes editorials, creates beautiful content for travel companies and contributes to travel and fashion magazines like Matador Network and A Small World Explorer, and his photos have been featured in publications like The Guardian, Metro, Elle Italia, Envols and Atlas Obscura.
