Who Needs a Passport? Take a European Vacation Without Ever Leaving Texas

Have y'all ever seen "National Lampoon's European Vacation" and wished that you could also take a tour of Europe like the Griswold's? Me too! However, if you are also like me then a European vacation is not in the cards right now.

I get it; times are hard, and seeing all the Instagram influencers on their third trip to Paris this year alone can be pretty infuriating! But not to worry, if you're in Texas then I have a hack for you!

Did you know you could take a European tour right here in the Lone Star state? That's right! Texas has its very own European flair, well, in the sense that Texas has a few cities named after iconic European cities. And they're just a road trip away from each other!

You can travel from Paris to Moscow, to Vienna to London and then finish off your European trip in Dublin, Texas! All in under 24 hours- that's considering you just make one pit stop for a quick selfie- you can tour parts of Texas you probably didn't even know existed- I didn't even know we had a Moscow!

I think perhaps the highlight of the tour would be Paris, Texas, which is known as “The Second Largest Paris in the World.” And it also comes complete with its very own Eiffel Tower replica; but this is Texas so it wouldn't be complete without a red ten-gallon hat!

How cool is that? You can find out more about Paris, Texas here.
