Oh travel, how I miss you!

There are few things in this life that I can say I am truly passionate about, but one of them is travel! Last summer I spent three months living out of a backpack and visiting roughly 15 countries in Europe and Asia. I have never had a better time in my life than just riding the trains and eating bread and Nutella for weeks at a time.

Let me tell you a few secrets about traveling:


1) Rick Steves books are the BEST travel books on the market!

2) Don't take yourself too seriously.

3) Don't talk about politics.

4) Eat local food...even if it seems gross :)

5) Talk to locals.

6) Be humble.

7) Be patient.

8) Soak it up because it will be over too quickly.

9) Try to learn about yourself.

10) Bring coins for the toilets!

Anyhow, there are a few jewels that will hopefully serve you in you next backpacking trip aroud the world!
