Europe — What Does It Mean?

Wow. Lots of great suggestions. I like: Carpe Europe, European Joy Ride, Bucket List: Europe, Europhelia, Europe Gone Wild, The Joy of Europe, and The Spirit of Europe. But I still like “Europe with Abandon” best. Thanks for the help. I’ll keep you posted on the project and its name.

  1. Abandon (noun): A thorough yielding to natural impulses. Abandon (verb): to give up the control to another person or agent; to withdraw from, often in the face of danger. The use of that particular word doesn`t seem to me to be conducive as one which would entice people to plan a trip for enjoyment. No offense, Rick, but there are lots more better choices that have been submitted.

  4. Rick, The following “points” to words describing Europe from my travels there: Savory Europe or Savoring Europe

  5. Although I have watched your shows for years, I had not been on your site until yesterday. I thoroughly enjoy watching your adventures and seeing all the exciting things you do. You have truly inspired me to get the most out of my travels and see the world in a whole new way. There`s so much more to these places than your typical tourist destinations. Thanks to you I have found the courage to step off the beaten path and get the most out my travels. I have seen and done so many things that I would have missed out on if I had stayed with a typical travel guide. Love your shows, books, blogs……..

  7. How about “Freestyle Europe”… maybe you are done with the contest, but thought I would submit this idea anyway!

  8. “abandon” suggests “careless” while “insouciant” implies “carefree”

  9. I previously suggested Savor Europe or Savoring Europe – What about “Savor Europe with Abandon” or “Savoring Europe with Abandon”? You could also consider some of the other suggestions combined with Europe with Abandon.
