Epic adventure!

Right. Well. In about 20 minutes I am headed off to the Cork airport for the start of my month-long trip traveling across Northern Europe. I am unbelievably excited. I’ve been planning this trip in my head for at least a year. I’m also fairly nervous. I mean, I’m traveling ALONE for a month. Which based on my previous experiences traveling this semester, I think I’ll actually be okay with. But it’s still fairly anxiety-provoking.

This morning I am flying to London. I’ll have the morning and early afternoon there, and then I’ll take the train from London to Paris. Over the course of the month, I will travel from Paris to Bruges, to Amsterdam, to Arhus, to Copenhagen, to Berlin, to Nuremberg, and end up in Munich. I’ll fly back to Dublin on April 28th. I’m going to be doing the whole thing by train – I have a 6 day, 4 country Eurail pass that I’ll be using. I hope to try to update this blog as I go, but it’ll probably depend on how much internet access I have.

I can’t believe this is actually happening! I can’t believe that I managed to fit all my stuff into one carry on pack. I generally tend to overpack, but I think I did a pretty damn good job packing for this trip.

My pack - 1 month of stuff.

Alright then. Time to head out. Here goes!
