Like everyone else has already said, reading about your travels is incredibly refreshing. It definitely is a nice escape from the drudgery of my current situation (an exam tomorrow morning).

I have to say, I really empathize with the ups and downs of travel. I cried a lot as well when I was in France, and I didn't even know why. All I know is that I came out of the experience feeling 10 years wiser. I cannot wait for your next post.

What were you up to in France?

I was taking French language courses in a small city in the south called Montpellier. It was simultaneously the most heartbreaking and wonderful summer of my life.

That sounds really intriguing. Can you tell me more about your experience or have you already written posts about it?

This made my morning. Thank you.

Did you go to Turkey? I will be there this summer!

I did go to Turkey, but I didn't have enough time to go along the Mediterranean coast. Man, that's the route you should take in the summer. Istanbul, Fethiye, Kas, Olympos... go sailing, eat awesome food, dig on history, ride horses, camp, party... whatever you want, Turkey's probably got it.

Turkey is our last stop on our first trip. We're doing Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey. Hopefully we'll have enough $$ to fully explore it.

Nice! All those places sound awesome. There's a bunch of ways to save money. Just hitchhike and couchsurf everywhere you can. Both are easier to do for a male when you're with a female, so good thing you'll have Josie. People are usually pretty generous to foreigners.

Have you booked your flight to London yet? Canadian Affair and Go Travel Direct have some seriously cheap flights from Canada right now.
