I live here. It is definitely expensive by American standards. We go to the states and are like, "wow, everything is SO cheap!" I've been all over Ireland, in rural Scotland, south Wales, England (Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Eastbourne and London), Spanish islands Menorca, Feurteventura and Ibiza, Portugal (Monte Choro and Lagos), Belgium, Germany (Cologne and all over the Rhineland), Austria's Salzburg and Vienna, Italy's northern Alpine regions, and Bulgaria's Svelte Vlas twice.
This summer I am going to Gibraltar, Morocco (although that is northern Africa) and Rome.
