As indicated on my profile page, I am a new blogger. I plan to make weekly (at least) entries about my trip through Western Europe. For those following my blog who are not familiar with the trip, here is a little summary. My best friend and I have been planning this trip for two years and saving for about the same. Initially our young, excitable and inexperienced minds led us to believe we could travel ALL of Europe, Western and Eastern and still have enough time and resources to end our trip in Australia. What a blow it was to learn how OUTRAGEOUS an idea that was. Upon finalizing a more realistic goal we decided to venture to the following countries: Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Denmark, England, Ireland, Scotland, Bosnia, Greece, Italy and Spain. More doable? I think so!
The day we leave is fast approaching and although we are logistically prepared, the nerves surrounding our first big trip have morphed into a full blown takeover rather than an earlier eerie feeling that could be ignored. With my nerves threatening my very existence I turn to some of our world's most intelligent and wise gentlemen for some comfort. With these words I conclude my very first travel blog entry.
"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn." C.S. Lewis
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." Mark Twain.
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." St. Augustine
