backpack across europe

Entries

Dream Itinerary  — 3 days ago

My version of backpacking across Europe means a lot of countries, but not every single one from one end to the other. Because let’s be real. I have to work, yo.
I’m thinking Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and Austria. That’s pretty much a big circle, and I can always come back over time for the rest :)

Every step I take  — 1 week ago

It seems like every time I take a step toward this goal, something happens and I have to take two steps back. Its hard for me to believe that money doesn’t bring happiness, because even a little bit would make life so much easier for me. Not a lot. Just some. I’m so ready to see the world- to explore new options of life. But I’m tired of all these silly things hindering me.

I have to get there. I will. If it’s the last thing I do. If it kills me. I will get there.

backpack across Europe  — 2 months ago

I want to take my backpack and get a Eurorail pass and see all of Europe. And since I’ve got a few years under my belt, I want to stay in 4 star hotels every night.

One of those things that I am afraid I’ll never do before I die.

A lot to figure out  — 3 months ago

I have so many things to focus on while I’m there. And I’m so excited. I have questions about my life that I need to figure out. This isn’t just a trip to see the most beautiful parts of the world. It’s about me. Who am I and what in the world do I honestly and truly want to do with my life. I have a few books I’m taking- workbooks- to help me focus on finding answers. I also have a list of questions I want answered. I can’t seem to find time out here in LA to really pay attention and work on these very, very important questions. So I’m finding that this isn’t just a trip about traveling- I truly am searching for something. It’s a journey for something I can’t even explain yet. I’m not even quite sure what I’m looking for. But I hope I find it.

For anyone who reads this- I’d love your prayers.

Worth doing!

I’ve gone twice backpacking around Europe. I’ve been to Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, France, England, and Germany. Western Europe is beautiful and can be done on budget. I stayed in hostels, bought groceries at supermarkets, and didn’t buy many tourist things. I never stinged on sights though, since these are important to really taking advantage of your trip.

Dreams do come true you just have to believe  — 4 months ago

Yes this still feels like a fantasy, I did this and I did this alone haha, I saw Spain, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Germany, UK London & Scotland, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, Czch, Belgium, Austria, & Netherlands and met a ton of cool people by staying in hostels, I mostly used the Eurail and Easyjet to see these countries. It was amazing and worth every dollar, pound, franc, kroner, euro I had :) It’s a beautiful world, and I still want to see Greece, Ireland and Norway one of these days! DO THIS

Research  — 4 months ago

So now that I’m planning this trip, I’m having a hard time focusing. I can’t seem to realistically tell myself that I can’t see everything. Because I seem to want to see it all.
