wow, fail.

So, I have been home from Europe for about 19 days now. Needless to say, I did not keep my blog while away. Excuses aside, internet (for free anyway) was VERY hard to come by in most countries, especially in hostels when there is a line up of other people behind you to use the computer. I knew I had to document my trip somehow though, so I got myself a journal and wrote down everything, every chance I got. We were on 6-7 hour train rides enough that I successfully got a chance to keep up to date with most of my travels.

I love the blogging community, as well as the chance to share anything I learned from my three months in Europe, so I have decided to transfer most of my journal over to my blog, as well as add some extra research on the places I have done, now that I am home. The good thing about doing it this way, is that I can now add pictures from my trip to my blog as well!

This summer was probably one of the most amazing, yet exhausting experiences of my life. I learned so much about different cultures, myself, and confirmed that my first true love is travel. As happy as I was to get home, I miss Italy to death (I have a weakness for all things Italian - food, language, culture, GELATO), as well as just the general thrill of getting to see or experience something new each day. When I got home I was certain I would put teaching in South Korea off for a year, but I have already begun interviews, and excited to get on the go again - so this time I will try and keep an up to date blog about that as well.

I obviously won't be able to put up 3 months worth of stories within a week, so be patient, I will do it in order of travels - which means first stop on my blog will be Geneva, Switzerland!

Hope you enjoy!
