I have two days left in which I promised myself I would finish reading the Hitchhiking Odessys book I borrowed from Kate.
Not everyone is aware of the fact that 2 years ago, at about this exact time, I set off on a European Adventure by myself. The jist of that story is that I got "robbed" less than 24hours after landing in Paris (due to my own stupidity, of course), and proceeded to hitchhike through France, Germany and Poland before getting my fantabulous roommate to wire me some money. I'd love to say that the story ended nicely at that point in time, but with this new found cash, I decided to explore London, England, underestimating how much it would cost, ending up without cash again, and having great difficulties getting back into Paris for my flight back into Canada.
People who have a great deal of time with me, or know of a few of my many stories, are aware of the fact that I rarely learn from my mistakes. But this time around, I've made an attempt to be a little more cautious in my travels (but not really). I've purchased tickets to other countries in advance, and am avoiding France like the plague... but that's actually the extent of it. Therefore this book of hitchhiking throughout Canada, is inspiring me to talk to new people, and have my own adventures; and hopefully will give me some tips on how to budget my money or somethin.
But with 2 days left to takeoff, after months of giving out gum (true story), I can't wait to do something unconventinal by myself for a bit. Music, check. New sk8 shoes, check. Camera, check. No worries friends, if I could get lost, you could find me in one of the following countries:
Scotland (Sept 24-Oct 1)
Ireland (Oct 1-Oct 4)
London, England (Oct 4)
Greece (Oct 4-Oct 10)
London, England (Oct 10)
Poland (Oct 11-Oct 15)
London, England (Oct 15)
Ontario, Canada (Oct 16 - Oct ?)
And if anyone is around or knows anyone who will be around... hook me up, I need friends, even if they are in other countries! -B!
