I am planning to go backpacking in Europe this summer as a graduation present to myself. I’ve got my sleeping bag, backpack, some money and several maps of the countries I want to visit. I have several France maps, an England map and a couple of different maps of Spain.

I cannot wait to see the Eiffel Tower and the city of love in the evening. I think I will be a traveling journal with me to write down my thoughts and experiences. I’m sure I’ll be able to find a coffee shop everywhere I go.

I’m also looking forward to seeing Buckingham Palace and tanning on the beaches of Spain. Even if I can only stay in each country for a couple of weeks, I think I’ll learn a lot more myself versus just visiting Europe for two weeks.
