The Digital Swashbuckler heads for Europe and the Mediterranean -- 3 continents in 3 months.
About this blog
Welcome to my Travelogue!
This is the record of my backpacking trip through Europe and travels through the Mediterranean in April through June of 2007. I work at Intel in Hillsboro, Oregon as a Computer Engineer. Every 7 years, we get an 8-week sabbatical. My 7 years is up, so I'm using the time off to travel through Europe and the Med. This is only my 2nd trip to Europe and my first solo backpack trip (more than half of the trip), so I'm not quite sure what all to expect, but I'll find out as I go, and share my experiences with everyone here. Thanks for joining me, and enjoy!
