If hosting Thanksgiving dinner seems like more work than fun, you're not alone. Many Americans are opting to travel abroad during the holiday, and ditching the dishes (not to mention crowded U.S. airports, highways and train stations) for the ease of Europe instead.
In fact, TPG's Nick Ewen is heading to Switzerland this year with his family, chasing the charm of European Christmas markets and a dash of winter weather he doesn't experience in his home state of Florida."I'm excited to enjoy another Thanksgiving in Europe," he said, as he's spent 10 of the last 11 Turkey Days on the Continent. "With fewer crowds, plentiful award availability and the ability to escape the domestic travel rush in the U.S., it's a perfect time to head abroad."
Those are just a few of the reasons you should consider trading turkey for Wiener schnitzel, stuffing for cacio e pepe or mashed potatoes for fish-and-chips this Thanksgiving season.
