Well I've been travelling for nearly 3 months now. I worked my ass off all summer and now the money I've put away is all but gone. I've seen and been to many amazing places this time around: Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, (currently in) Greece and soon I will be seeing Croatia. Not sure when my next long travel will be. For now I'll enjoy the final wisps of this trip. Might be spending Christmas in Prague, but it's far from a guarantee. If not I'll be flying home to spend the holiday with my family. I've uploaded a few of the images I've taken on this trip, but there are so many more that I haven't. The next long travel at this point is undecided. Who knows when I'll be out and about again...until then ciao ciao!

Seems like the only time I ever update my journal is when travel is the main focus. Once again this is the case and tomorrow I will be on a plane bound first for Iceland and then London. My heart races when I contemplate driving winding roads through the Icelandic countryside and wandering the streets and alleyways of London. I long to sit inside pubs sipping on beer pulled straight from cellared casks; riding the tube and arriving to Trafalgar Square or down to the Thames and Big Ben and the House of Parliament. Soon my friends, soon...London is definitely calling, and I'm almost there to answer...

Sitting on the precipice, a mere 2 more nights of working at Terra Vista and the casino and then it's off again; for three weeks or so at least. Heading back across the Atlantic to wander the streets of London once again. Then I'm making a quick pit stop in Washington, DC for four days. The thought of travelling again, being on the road, flying in airplanes, riding on trains and buses, through the London underground and seeing the Thames and Westminster, it will be great. Finally, I will unleash my photographic prowess on the city and hopefully come away with some lovely shots. Some new developments off the travel front, but I'll keep those out of this. Just a few more unfortunate humps on the way to my goal of living and working in Seattle. It will all work out in the end. For now I'm dreaming of this upcoming travel. I'll leave post-travel plans exactly where they should be: after the trip. Toodles for now. We'll talk on the other side.

Welp, the decision was made last week to call it quits and head back to Seattle. As it turns out, 5 months of jumping around Europe is a little tiring. So Sunday night will be my last night here in Europe (for now) and I'll land in Seattle around 1730 PST just in time to celebrate Independence Day. There are so many places around the world I'd like to see, but Europe for the moment has captured my attention. Perhaps I should focus on a less expensive travel destination? I guess we'll see :] toodles for now Europe, I'm sure I'll be back as soon as I can.

It has in fact been confirmed. From Amsterdam I am proceeding deeper into the confines of the European continent and will be traveling to Italy in just 7 days. Incredible really. It hasn't sunk in. Such a long-time dream to visit the country of Italy and now here it is, staring me down in the eyes. In 7 days it is entirely possible that I will be sitting in the Umbrian hills as the night fades drinking a glass of wine on a nice little terrace. Here we go. Cheers. Let's dive right in.
