About this blog

I moved to Europe with my then girlfriend to spend 6 or 7 months in Europe. We had rail passes, no work visas, little money, and copious amounts of confidence and naiveté to get us through it all. It was my first time to really leave the country (partying in Mexico doesn't count). It was exciting, frightening, frustrating, and exasperating. But above all it was amazing. I still have trouble believing I really did it. This is a look back.
