A Dream – Backpacking across Europe!

Here I am. This is me. Embarking on a journey of a lifetime...
I am off to Western Europe backpacking, on what I believe would be one of the most memorable and exciting experience. The planning that went to this trip in itself has already made it an enthralling experience. The every minute that I spent planning has made me so much wiser and knowledgeable. I can talk about backpacking, the advantages, the experience etc. for hours together, and I have not even started the journey yet!!

Traveling will and should be a change from everything familiar. Talking to the people you meet, many of whom may not be English-speaking but still eager to answer questions, is what it’s all about. Irrespective of how many times you backpack, you want it to stretch you and remove you from a comfort zone. You want to listen and learn from your fellow hostilities, learn and understand the various cultures, and grasp every minute detail. Its going make you think along perspectives that you thought never existed. Someday it’s all going to help and you might thank yourself for having embarked on such a journey…

It is the experience of a lifetime! Everyday you will have different stories, different experiences to share and be heard, so whether you start from England, Spain, France or Germany, you will create an experience that will never be forgotten!

When my journal is full and I am sick of wearing the same set of t-shirts, I will have stories, names, and places to speak of for years to come. The feeling of great achievement the learning and the experience may not be understood by everyone. One will discover that many will really not understand just how cool it was, because many just can’t. The backpacking experiences are yours alone. It’s only when you return to all things familiar that you’ll notice how much they’ve changed you.

I am sure at the end of it, I will have some of my greatest memories etched while backpacking across Europe. There may be good moments and bad, but in the end nothing would compare to the experiences I will have.
