My epic group trip to the London 2012 Summer Olympics
Ever since I was a little kid, the Olympic Games have always fascinated me. I still have (vague) memories of Barcelona 1992, a turning point for Spain. Simply put, I find there's something magical about the energy of the host city, the passion of the athletes, and the unity it brings to people from all over the world. So when the 2012 Summer Olympics came to London, my friends and I knew we had to be there, especially because one of our dear friends would be competing for a medal and we were already in Europe. Looking back, it was certainly one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken as a group! In this post, you´ll find my detailed experience at the Summer Olympics in London 2012. I hope that it will inspire you to book your tickets for the next Olympic Games!
