I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on the Traveling Culturati podcast, where we dove into the magic of European Christmas markets 🎄✨

In this special cross-featured episode, I share stories, traditions, and insider tips from some of Europe’s most enchanting Christmas markets—why they’re so beloved, what makes each region unique, and how travelers can experience the true festive spirit beyond the stalls and lights.

If you love mulled wine, twinkling town squares, centuries-old traditions, and the cozy charm of winter travel, this conversation is for you.
