So I wrote a blog about 5 pages long to update everyone on everything and my internet shut down!!!! So needless to say, it didnt get published. sorry that i havent been keeping up but internet is sooooo expensive in Italy. 30 minutes costs me like 4 euro! When I get to some free internet I will definitely write more and write back personally to everyone! Again, I apologize!!! I am currently in Cinque Terra, Italy...quite possibly heaven on earth!! This place is absolutely amazing and I never want to leave!! Forget about anything I have said about anywhere else I have been...this is by far the best!!! I head to Venice tomrrrow (unfortunately) because I could spend another week here!! I will be back someday without a doubt! Yesterday, I went on a hike through ... read more

Hello from Rome!!! So I arrived in Rome three days ago and absolutely LOVE it here!!! I took a ferry over from Croatia which was pretty cool as well. It was an overnight trip and we got into Italy at 7 a.m. so I woke up and went out on the deck and watched the most GORGEOUS sunrise over the Italian coast. It could not have been more perfect!!! The first day in Rome, I spent at the Vatican city. I walked through all of the museums and got to see the sistine chapel, which I have been waiting for about 15 years to see! It was magnificent. Its hard to imagine spending four years on a project and I just stood there, thinking of how amazing it must have been when Michalengelo was finished....to look ... read more

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven´t written in a while, I´ve been awful at keeping this updated, but I will definitely try harder!! Right now, I am in Split, Croatia. We are on the coast so there is a harbor and beach just down the road from our hostel. I am still traveling with Ryan and Steve, and along the way we´ve picked up and lost several others. The rest of Prague was AMAZING and I never wanted to leave. After four nights, Steve, Ryan, and these two other guys, Ben and Jack decided to head to Vienna, Austria. The next three days, we basically just chilled out and recovered from a crazy few nights in Prague. The last night in Austria, we headed out to a local bar and had a great time!! On the way ... read more

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't written in a while, I really have no excuse for not keeping up in Germany, basically because I didn't do too much....unfortunatley I was feeling a little under the weather after I left Norway and exhaustion took control about halfway to Berlin. When I arrived in Berlin, my body just didn't want to handle anymore. I did get to go on some tours and see the city, and I did get to go out and drink some German beers, but definatley not to the extent that I should have for being in Germany!!! So basically, I've been spending the last two nights making up for it!!! I'm now in Prague, Czech Republic and I have officially fallen in love with this city!! As partial as I am to Boston being the ... read more

I've made it safely to Norway!!! Wednesday night, I flew to Copenhagen, Denmark and had to spend the night sleeping in the airport....that was interesting. Eight hours, and I was basically the only soul there except for the cleaning crew. It actually wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. I used my day pack as a pillow and brought a blanket with me, curled up across some seats and slept on and off all night. I surprisingly got a few hours of sleep even. The next morning, I took off to Norway, where my friend, Mike, (from Sweden) who I know from Tampa, came and got me at the airport. It was SOOO nice to see a familiar face and get a REAL HUG from someone I know!!! We headed back to Mike's ... read more

Hey everyone!!! I'm in Brugge, Belgium!!! I love this little town!!! It's very small, not a ton to do, but it's Beautiful!!! The streets are all cobblestone, the buildings are brick and old looking but very well kept, there are horse and carriages everywhere and the people are so nice!! I feel like I stepped iinto the scene of a Charles Dickens story!!! I arrived yesterday, after spending a few days in Paris, which ended up being wonderful! I got to see so many things and hung out at the Eiffel tower at night, it was beautiful!!! Definitely one of those times that I wished someone was there with me to share it with, but it was still great, kinda relaxing and nice to just be there and taking it all in, even alone. And for ... read more

I've arrived in Paris....I took a train here last night, got into my hostel and went to bed, I was exhausted. I think Interlaken took a lot out of me. The two days after bungy jumping and canyoning, I went hiking into the mountains and just recovered because my body was SORE! Today I took a tour of Paris and got to see Notre Dame, The Louvre, the Eiffel tower, Arc de Triomphe and much more! It was a great tour and I learned a ton about the city, not to mention that I got some great pics and marked about 15 things off my bucket list! After the tour, I went back to the Eiffel tower and just layed on the grass underneath it, daydreaming and watching the clouds go by, just feeling absolutely lucky ... read more

WOW!!! That is basically the only way I can describe the last two days of my life!!!!! I arrived in Switzerland yesterday morning and before I even put my bags in my room, I went to check out all of the extreme sports that they offer. Before I knew it, I was signed up to go bungy jumping at 4:00 THAT DAY!!!! I was going to do the smaller one, but decided to just go for it all the way! I jumped from a gondola over a lake at 480 feet!!!!! That's the second highest bungy jump in the WORLD!!!!! It was the most insane thing EVER!!! I was scared and excited and my heart was pounding and I LOVED IT!!!! I don't think I've ever done anything like it...it was so much different than skydiving. ... read more

So just a quick update to respond to all the comments I got (YAY) I was starting to get lonely!!! I´m currently in Valencia and tomorrow I go to Barcelona....ONLY because it´s the only place to get a train to France...HOPEFULLY I´ll only be there for one night....if everything works out well....I´ll be heading to Nice on Monday...if not, then I´m gonna try Paris or I´ll just have to deal and spend a few more days in Barcelona. Maybe it will be better the second time around!! Now that I´m more familiar with the city and all....and as I mentioned, the girls I met, Kate and Jane will be there, so at least I know some people, which is usually a huge plus. For all of you in Tampa, I just talked to Swedish Mike, and ... read more
