Looking for Love
**This Vote is now closed. Check out where we went on Budapest or Bust
Hello Virtual Travel Buddies! It’s, once again, time for another vote. As I’m currently homeless and traveling full-time, they’re coming a little faster now.
It’s been fun and interesting (definitely not warm) spending Christmas drinking Glüwein with the Germans. I’m now looking at future holidays and one coming up soon after the new year is Valentines Day. Alas, it’s a lonely life on the road and I could use a little romance. As I’m currently in Europe, and many places here are known for romance, I thought maybe I’d stick around for a bit as, well, it will be much easier on my body and my bank account if you don’t have me flying back and forth over land and sea constantly. Sure, now that my house is rented out, there’s no reason for me to fly back across the Atlantic, but we also don’t need to rush to get to other continents. We’ll get there eventually, but let’s have another glass of Glüwein or two, shall we?
So, back to love. Wait, love? I didn’t mean that. I just meant, well, you know, a girl can get lonely out on the road all by herself. So consider yourself my dating service. You won’t choose who to fix me up with (I’ve made that mistake before), but you will choose where to fix me up.
In this next vote, I’ve included some of the locations rated in various travel articles as the most romantic cities in Europe. Get me there and I’ll try to find Mister Right (or perhaps Mister Right Now). Convince me that romance is not dead.
Remember, you can vote for one of the locations listed or click “other” and write in your own nomination for European romance. I’ll keep you updated on the voting (especially in the “other” category as the poll doesn’t allow that to be shown) in the comment section of this page, as well as on the Drop Me Anywhere Facebook Page.
This vote ends January 20th, 2015 at 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time – that’s 1:00pm Western Standard Time, 9:00pm in England and. . . oh heck, look at your iPhone and it’ll tell you. It’ll be 10:00pm here in Germany and I’ll be ready for bed after a couple of Glüweins.
Remember, you may vote once per day per electronic device. Two out of our five winners so far have been from the “other” category after some E-mail, Facebook and Twitter campaigns, so tell your friends if you have a location in mind.
Happy Holidays and Safe Travels!

Mr. Right Now? Ha.
That’s the stuff I save for the book. The sex, drugs and rock-n-roll.

Hello VTB’s! Just an update on the current voting results. While you can see the percentages in the categories listed (vote, and it will automatically come up), I thought I’d update you on the “other” category:
With one vote each we have:
-Amsterdam (romance, sex… it’s all the same!) – It’s not but I’ll settle for either (preferably both).
-Windjammer barefoot cruises! – Obviously an old coworker. There was lots of sex and some romance. But, as they’re no longer in business, it’s not really a possibility.
Krakow, Poland – Aah, yes, the Poles are know for their romance.
Oak Park, Michigan – Yes, where I grew up. Still, pretty far from Europe. And I don’t remember it being that romantic. But that could have just been due to my teen years.
Cinque Terre, Italy and its Villa Del’Amorre – Don’t know it but it sounds wonderful so, if you want to vote for it, who am I to say no!
Remember, voting is open until January 20th and you’re my dating service. Matchmaker, Matchmaker, make me a match. . .
