Back on Home Soil!

Alright so I know its sooner than I said but I'm home. Still went to all the places (crazy i know) but I wouldn't change my trip for the world! Some places I will most certainly return to in the future and many people I will never forget! It was definitely an eye opener for me and an incredible experience and all I want to do now is keep going! (But I ran out of money :P) so for now it's back to work for a bit, just to feed my travels fund now! lol Don't know where I will go next, but I've been invited to Scotland, Estonia, Poland, each side of Australia and would love to go to South East Asia and South America! So many places to go, lots of time! Hail to being 20 years old!

Italy was an interesting country. Never got the same kind of attitude twice. In Milan people were quite snobbish and rude. I got glared at for wearing a tank top and it seemed that the Canadian guy and I were crazy for wearing such tank tops and t-shirts when it was 22 degrees....crazy right?! In Rome I was greeted with a friendly and hot atmosphere. This is where I spent my birthday and was even treated to dinner by 3 lovely ladies who were staying in the same hostel as me. Made the day perfect :) Venice was different. I can honestly say that I didn't like it all that much. Way too many people for my liking on a floating city. ;) But it was a cool destination, with very large calzones. :)

I have to say that Austria was one of the most beautiful countries I saw while in Europe. From the farms and castles/fortresses in the countryside to the incredible and beautiful architecture in the heart of Vienna. Austria was definitely #1! Would love to go back there!

Prague was a very interesting city. Never knew so many movies were filmed there!! (Including Triple X with Vin Diesel ;) Hot I know) Prague is also the home of Europe's cheapest and best beer! This includes a Monastery where the Monks make their own beer!

Berlin was very cool. Literally too, I'm bummed that it rained the entire time I was there, but what can you do right? I did very much enjoy this city and it's unbelievable how much the city has bounced back these last 20 years (since the wall fell). The city is buzzing with life and construction. Although there are some remnants of older buildings, including the Reichstag, most of what was Berlin before the Cold War is gone, and a new Berlin is emerging. I can't wait to return here and see how far they will have progressed. This city, and country are also very pertinent about keeping Neo-Nazism down. They have strict laws and rightfully so. They are moving forward from an age of disaster and terror, all the while never forgetting and at the same time always remembering.

Just an update.

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd let you know that I'm safe and still having fun! These countries are beautiful! Especially the one I'm in right now. Really reminds me of Canada! (that's right, still not gonna tell you where I am hehe) but I must say that I am exhausted of both museums and churches! Can't believe there are so so many! And how many people there are here compared to our country. Immensely packed. Even the countrysides have niches of people around every mountain/hill. The trains between destinations are cool too. You get to see a lot of the landscape and meet people. Only downfall is the time and the tunnels. But anyways thought I'd give you an update while waiting for sleep to take me this fine warm evening! Good day to you all!
