Europe! Check back for more updates!

So, I did it! I bought my plane ticket and Eurorail pass 2 days ago! I fly to London on Oct. 14 at 8:00PM and arrive back to NYC on Dec. 19. Holy shit. I am going backpacking through Europe, alone, for two months. Am I crazy? I hope so :) I am going to 11 countries! This is my BASIC plan right now, it's possible it could change!

Start in London - Take the Chunnel to Paris - Train to Brussels, Belguim - Train to Amsterdam, The Netherlands - Train to Berlin, Germany - Train to Prague, Czech Rep. - Train to Vienna, Austria - Train to Zurich, then Bern, Switzerland - Train to Milan, Italy - Possible train to Nice, Cannes, Marseilles or any other part of the South of France!! - Fly from Milan to Athens, Greece - Take ferry boat from Patras, Greece to Bari, Italy - Train to Napoli, then Rome, Italy - Take ferry boat from Rome to Barcelona, Spain - Train to Madrid, Spain - Fly from Madrid back to London, England - Fly from London to NYC, USA! - ...3-4 days later... Fly from NYC to Oregon for Christmas!

HOLY SHIT!!! Tell me that is not the coolest thing in the entire world!?!? I will be meeting so many people, seeing so many beautiful sites, taking great pictures, learning everything I can! I can't wait. I wish some friends I could meet along the way. You know, spend a few days in Italy with a friend. That could be fun. It would be nice to have Logan for a bit too, but damn school is in the way. I'll be meeting up with Rose in England at least! Can't wait. So yeah, there it is. Welcome to my blog about my trip, and my planning for the trip. My Big Grand European Adventure. Thank you Sean Penn, for writing Into The Wild. I LOVE YOU. And I love my boyfriend :)

Oh, I should probably mention WHY I am doing this? Well, it's simple...yet complicated beyond belief. Basally, I need to find myself. I need to grow up. I have never been alone or independent in my entire life. I need to go and see if I can do this. I've been wanting to for YEARS, but kept getting scared. No more! I have no commitments or responsibilities here holding me back, it's now or never. No job, no "career", no school, no show. So it's best I do it while I can. I want to read! To write! To learn! To experience! And right now, for me, NYC is making me feel trapped. I need to get out for a bit. I know I will come back a better, stronger, more grounded person. I will be happier in life, more knowledgeable, treat people better...etc. It is going to be the best thing possible for me. I can't wait. And my friends, bf, and family (almost all my family, that is) all do support me! Thank you guys! Logan will still be in our apartment, BTW. I'll be coming back to Spanish Harlem as soon as I get back! So, keep checking back for more updates on my trip! On where to send me letters, where I am going..etc. Also, please send me your addresses! I will try and send as many postcards as possible! Love to all. PEACE.
