dream destination
I just read a really great article about this place. It look beautiful. 525 others want to go here
Countries I've Traveled To
Languages Spoken
English, ein bisschen Deutsch, and enough French, Dutch and Spanish to get me into trouble
Interests
Books you might find in my backpack
Music you might find me listening to while waiting for my plane
Most Memorable Travel Experience
Too many to name. I've had so many great experiences--coupled with not so great ones--on family trips that I couldn't possibly narrow it down to one.

In order to experience the world around you, you have to want to be able to absorb yourself completely in it. When I first got to Europe, I tried to blend in by putting in my headphones and dissolving myself into my own little world. I realize now that that is the wrong way to go about traveling. Unplug. Listen to the sounds around you. Try to dissect the words being spoken in an alien language to see if they might resemble anything that you can associate with. Live life, don't hide from it.

I found that as I keep adding more and more entries into my blog, the actual length of the page gets longer and longer. So, I decided to break it up into more manageable segments. So, here it is everyone, Part II. (Enjoy!)

Six Month Study Abroad
Jul 02, 2008 - Aug 05, 2008
This is going to be a companion to a written journal. Spending time abroad and traveling is something that should be archived, if not for aesthetic value, at least for nostalgic purposes. I don't know who will be reading this, but I hope that the few who do will enjoy it.

Average priced "Sights & Attractions" in Berlin, Germany
The wonderful thing about Berlin is that there is so much to see in so many different areas of the city. The history of the city stretches for hundred... (read more about Fat Tire Bike Tours)
