Europe Trip 2026: Kick Off!

From the loungers of Orchid Country Club to the gates of the UK’s most iconic stadiums, the “Boys’ Trip” is finally happening.

What began as a routine weekend watching the EPL back home has evolved into a full-scale European tour. Except for CK, it’s our first time exploring the continent for JX, KT and myself. We’re keeping the itinerary flexible: fly into mainland Europe, trek across the map, and end with the holy grail, stadium tours.

After some discussions, we plan to start the trip from Singapore to Frankfurt. From there, we’ll hop on a cross-border train to Amsterdam to soak in the canals and culture. Then we’ll be flying into the UK for the much-anticipated final leg of our trip to cover the respective English Premier League football clubs that each of us supports before returning home.
