Europa

I lived both in Western and Eastern Europe: born in the East near the Black Sea, and moved to the West, primarily Germany and Luxembourg. And then even further west.

Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern and mostly the Eastern Hemispheres. Europe has fifty sovereign states with a total population of over 740 million. European culture is the root of so-called Western civilization: ancient philosophy, Renaissance humanism, exploration and colonization, revolutions and wars, Enlightenment and industrialization, art and science, fall of dictatorships and the European Union (EU).

I am a EU citizen from Germany. I've been to Poland when I was a teen, later frequented Belgium, the Netherlands, several areas in France, mostly Paris which was 4 hours away on a high-speed train, but also Ardeche and Brittany.
