Amsterdam, London, Austria, Germany

I heard Prague, Czech Republic is magical during the holidays or Switzerland

Wouldn’t recommend going to the typical tourist places mentioned above. If you wanna have a more authentic experience go to the lesser known countries (for ppl outside of Europe). I’m talking about Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Montenegro , Croatia 💚

Luxembourg! Strasbourg is also great!

Amsterdam! I especially love this place when I wanted just slow days on vacation. Great food and scenery!

Rovaniemi in Finland is truly magical and postcard-worthy during the holidays. The landscapes look otherworldly around Christmas time!

What better destination to spend Christmas than in Basel, Switzerland's most stunning and expansive Christmas City? The area's vibrant old town preservation makes me think of Whoville from The Grinch. I mean, the lights, the pine trees, and the snow! Amazing!

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role?
