A Dream From Far Away

Every kid dreams of far away places. Some dream of fantasy lands filled with hobbits and mutant x-men. Other see foreign lands of France and Spain. Mix a little bit of everything and you've pretty much summed up my childhood. I read far too much as a kid.

Stir into that batch a summer long trip to Vietnam when I was 7, many visits to Vancouver & Edmonton, a high school band trip to Scotland and another recent trip to Vietnam as an adult? All these elements have instilled in me a desire to see the world. There are many reasons for my travel loving-ness. I hope to explore those reasons, for my benefit as much as yours, the reader, over the next week, month, year, however long it takes me. I hope, though, that I have most of it figured out in time for my beloved idea of a fantasy. My Europe Trip. Like I said, every kid dreams of far away places. Over the years my dreams have developed into a 3-4 month long backpacking trip in Europe. The cheapest hostels, the finest foods, the most expensive camera I can afford, the furthest sights from home and the most amazing museums and art in the world all wrapped neatly into a MEC traveling pack.

Hang on tight ;)

P.S. Jeez, how corny was all that hey? I have such a flair for the melodramatic.
