backpack through Europe alone

Though it may seem intimidating, traveling by yourself can be great. You can just do things on the spur of the moment and with my experience you’ll find people to hang out with and get to see and experience lots of new and interesting things.

I backpacked for three months by myself throughout Europe after I graduated college. I was even there when 9/11 happenened (Dover, England to be exact) and watched as the world seemed to fall apart around me. And yet as the world seemed to fall apart the people around me seemed to come together as one, one family even if only for one moment. The love and compassion bestowed upon me is not one that I can even begin to describe in words.

The world is full of beautiful places and beautiful people. When you seek it out by yourself you are forced to go beyond your owns boundaries and borders. But in return you are rewarded with a greater gift than you could have ever expected.

I did it for a month with friends, then a month by myself. i enjoyed it more when i was by myself. its more fun when you can just wake up and decided which country your going to go that day, with out anyone having any objections!
