Backpacking Across Europe

(This Trip was planned my sophomore year of highschool. I never got to go, and I now want to go more than ever.)

January 8, 2007 - Monday

Backpacking through Europe Current mood: ecstatic Category: Travel and Places

Let's Go. As soon as I graduate; I'm gone. It wont necessarily be legal yet, but I'm still outta here. I'm going to aspire to be like Lorelai & Rory; save up some cash and see Europe through the back door. No fancy hotels, i'll refrain from tour busses; I wanna see Europe myself, not on someone elses watch. If i wanna climb the stairs of the Ifle Tower, I'm gonna climb the stairs of the Ifle Tower. I'm not settling for ten minutes to see the Ifle Tower; then hopping on a bus rushing through the rest of Paris. Europe is something you live. You dont just see it, you experience it, as a whole. I'll sleep on benches and in houses like the Globe Trucker guy does in the movies we watch in Spanish Class.

I even have roughly determined my list of possible/preferible destinations.

I'll fly into Lisbon, Portugal, then Ill see Madrid, Paris, Switzerland, then hit Milan, Rome, Venice, go back up to Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, England, and end in Dublin, Ireland.
