My Backpack

Traveling To Europe for 31 days on a Budget requires some planning and A Great Backpack.



Jack Wolfskin 55L Backpack~ I got the Wine red :) This should hold everything I need for my trip.


 Pack light,Pack Light,Pack Lighter!



The best advice that has been given to me is:

Spread everything out on your bed, take half of what you got on it and twice the money ;)
I have purchased a Patch for every country 
I have been in and the ones I am going to ! 
These patches were glued onto my backpack.

Where I am going

Hello! 

I will blog all about my Around the world European adventures here. I have never blogged so we shall see how this all comes together.

 I will be leaving Solo on February 4th 2014 and returning March 8th 2014 (which by chance is my Birthday). 

I will leave Nashville TN and then: 

London, England for 3 days, 

Marrakesh, Morocco for 5 days, 

Barcelona, Spain for 5 days, 

Rome, Italy for 7 days, 

Athens, Greece for 6 days

Munich, Germany for 3 days. 

I will land in NYC and stay there for 2 days to 'get my grip' after such a long adventure then on to Nashville Tn.
