one step at a time-my life in a backpack Ok where to start? Well I'm 23 an aussie and after years of talking about doing this travel thing I have set off on my way. The idea is to see the uk and europe (highly original I know) But since I set out here I just don't know where to stop!! I believe the travel bug may just have bitten me! But really you only live once and why not see everything. Life should be about happiness and experiences not stress and misery! Well at least thats what I want!

49 days of camping begins

FRANCE | Thursday, 29 March 2007 | Views [328]

My journey around europe begins! I am going to these countries: France,Switzerland,Spain, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania,Hungary,slovakia, Austria, czech republic,Poland, Germany and the Netherlands.

     So far I have been to Paris and today I am on my way to Switzerland. I can't wait! Paris is beautiful everything I imagined and then some. I went on a bike tour around the city and it is probably the easiest way to get around! I saw the eiffel tower, arc de triomphe,the louvre,notre dame and just walked around and took in all the sights whilst enjoying learning about the history. Paris has a really nice feel to it and the views are amazing! Food is bloody good one nutella crepe will tell you that. I gave escargo a shot and it wasn't too bad but because it's chewy I couldn't help but get slightly grossed out at the thought that I was eating a snail. I was warned before I left that the french are quiet rude but I have to say everyone is awesome I managed to try some of the french I have been teaching myself and all in all it has been great. I can't wait to go to switzerland I have heard soo much about it that it is really exciting to think that I will be able to see the alps and enjoy some of that fine swiss chocolate too!
