I traveled to some Europian countries???
I want to know if I can say "I traveled to some Europian countries last year."
to explain that I had visited German, France, and Italy and spent my vacation there.

Since the word 'travel' can simply mean 'to move from a place to another, I always felt
my sentence wasn't fully carrying what I really wanted to say.

Like... a friend asks me "What did you do on your vacation?"
I answer "I traveled to China and it was a nice trip."

I will really appreciate your help.

Answer

The correct spelling is "European" (with a second "e.") I think it is clear and natural to say "I traveled to some European countries last year." However, it would be more natural to say "I visited Europe last year," "I traveled in Europe last year," or "I traveled to Europe and visited three countries last year."

To explain the use of the preposition: first you traveled to Germany, then you traveled for a while in Germany, then you traveled to France, then you traveled in France, then you traveled to Italy, then you traveled in Italy, then you returned home. So, if you are just summarizing the trip, it's correct to say "I traveled to German, France, and Italy," and it is also correct to say "I traveled in Germany, France, and Italy." "Traveled to" stresses the moment of arrival; "traveled in" stresses what you did after arrival.
