Hey all. I've started a new leg to the Euro trip with full intention of continuing the blog, but I'm having some unexpected technical problems. If anyone knows about making Macs work in Spain, let me know.
I've lived quite a few places in the last few years. Since I graduated from Northwestern University and finished my two years with Teach for America in Chicago, I have lived in Sofia Bulgaria, Karlskrona, Lund and Malmö Sweden. In between, I have traveled to fifteen countries and logged more flights and train mileage than I care to remember.
Of course with all those trip have come a lot of unique experiences. If you asked me back in 2007 if I could imagine myself in a baptism in a small Italian village, or hiking a mountain in Morocco, I probably would have have had some doubts. Of course, I've done those things, and more, since.
This is where I like to share those experiences. Not only the bare details and experiences of finding new places, but also some of the things that I learn from travel. Mark Twain said "travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness." In my experience I would have to say it holds up a mirror to your own perceptions unlike anything else.
