Brave

Just thought I'd share this song by Sara Bareilles:

Fantastic message. Did you know that she wrote this song to help her friend come out? Spending a month in Europe comes with a tiny bit of fear... This song eliminates that feeling! Thanks, Sara! I wanna learn the dance, too...

11 days and still planning...

...and that's OK! Fellow solo travelers, I must ask: Isn't it a blast planning your itinerary without the involvement of another individual a blast? It is for me. I'm thrilled to be traveling by myself. Oh, the places I'll see, the people I'll meet, and the alcohol I'll drink. The main idea behind this trip to Europe is to experience new people and to gain more knowledge. Another idea is to hopefully give back to the world a piece of my own soul through conversation, a nice gesture, a smile, paying for someone's beer, traveling with a fellow traveling stranger, placing my hand on someone's if they're crying, and many more. The possibilities are endless. Come with me through this blog!
