It really makes sense, her worriedness about my trip to Europe. I am a young, inexperienced traveler and I will be spending a month alone in a foreign country where I know no one, where I don't speak the language and where I have limited resources (aka MONEY) to get myself out of trouble it something should happen.
To this I say, "It will all be worth it!" I am less than a month away from what I am predicting will be one of the biggest milestones of my life thus far and lately my mind has been consumed with ideas about what to do, where to go, what to see. I am studying Spanish and Italian transit schedules for leisure reading and spending countless hours reading the blogs of others who have traveled Europe alone.
All this to say, here is my blog. I will update it as much as possible along my journey as a digital version of a writer's journal. I will even try to upload pictures throughout my trip (if I can figure out how to do that).
Look out, I am soon to become a globetrotter! Check back often! Don't worry mom, if I get arrested I am SURE they will allow me the use of a computer to let you know on my blog. :)
Love,
Derek :)
