Screw You Guys...I'm Going to Europe

Yes. Finally.

One week into my long vacation I'm busy planning my France/Italy trip. I'll be spending four weeks traveling around Paris, Provence, Cinque Terre (Thanks for the tip, S), Florence, Venice and Rome.

It obviously took me too long to go through with this trip. I could've saved a lot of money if I had seized the opportunity when I was young enough to be entitled to youth discounts and to think hostels were cool.

Okay, I never really thought hostels were cool. The only thing remotely cool about them is the affordability. Call me "no fun", but I stayed in dorm rooms at camp in elementary school and didn't like it back then. Now, at the ripe age of 28, I really don't think I could bear sharing anything with rowdy kids. So to steer clear of "young travelers" who make alcohol a core ingredient and getting laid a priority of their journeys, I'm opting for B&Bs and budget hotels. I’m hoping to meet some mature and even senior travelers, who should have more to share on life and everything else; and hopefully some locals with stories about each of my destinations.

Otherwise, it’s just me, myself, and Europe. And I’ll be perfectly fine with that.
