Dreaming of Europe- January 27, 2010

Europe 2010 is in the works!

This summer, Stephanie, Lauren, and I are going on a trip around Europe. We've been planning this trip for at least a year now and it's pretty much all I (and I'm pretty sure them, too) think about.

We're still not really sure if this is considered a backpacking trip through Europe because we all have different ideas of where to stay, how to get around, and what events and destinations to see. After seeing horror movies and hearing stories, staying in hostels just doesn't sound like my cup of tea. But on the other hand, I'm not sure I'll have the funds to be staying in luxurious hotels all around Europe.

All of us have been to various countries in Europe as well and we all have our different favorite destinations to be sure to stop in. I think we are all up for an adventure so we're sure to be making random trips and unplanned stops along the way. It's hard to be so unprepared for such a long trip, especially through countries where I don't speak the languages. But that's all part of the excitement and adventure of going abroad.

My picture of the day is of my traveling gnome Hansel standing on one of the many sample Europe maps I've plotted possible routes on. We haven't booked any flights or anything yet, but we're in the process of finding the best deals and routes to go on our journey. I'm sure that no matter where we end up it's going to be an amazing trip!!
