Send bail money! How I spent 6 months tearing through Europe.
About this blog
I will be travelling through Europe for the first portion of my partial trip around the world. I currently have 5 months blocked off, so I should be back in the US in mid october. I have a feeling I will need a bit more time in Europe, so I may be back in November.
Afterwards I will be back in the US for about a month and then I will be off to Costa Rica, where I will start the Central and South America portion of my trip. I have a feeling this portion will take about a year, but I guess it is kind of open ended.
