This is so true. I spent 3 years travelling through Europe in a converted military truck. I would say that of the 24 countries we have "been to", we have only truly known 2 or 3 (and of those, I was born in one, and now live in another). That is despite having spent months in many places, city and countryside alike. How anyone could ever consider "doing europe" in anything less than a lifetime is beyond me. City-hopping, and going to the typical instagram pictures to take more of the same is not travelling, IMHO.
