My Route Around Europe

It's true, 3 months is a lot of time, people assume that I'd be able to go to every country in Europe in 3 months.  I could, but I won't.  I choose to travel slow.  I don't want my trip to become a hop-on-hop-off tour.  I am not just after the photos, I wanna be there and pretend that I live there even just for a few days.

I like it that when I stay long in a place that I get to be familiar with the area, know my way around the streets without staring at my google maps, or know where a good reliable cheap restaurant is.

I remember when I was in Mexico DF and I was staying at this hostel right beside the Cathedral.  I wake up everyday for a week with this view outside my window.

This is why I love staying in hostels, the area is almost always in the dead center, it's cheap, and it has free wifi!  Hostel in the center is a big plus for me, especially if it is right beside an unmissable landmark, I have such bad sense of direction that I'm glad I started traveling after GPS became so common.

I digress, anyway, here is my planned itinerary as of yesterday July 17, 2015 5:02PM.  I change my plans so often, you will not believe.  It changes every time I talk to someone, or read and watched something.

I planned my trip using Excel, first plotting the number of days, then the cities I want to go to with the corresponding number of days, and move it around like a jigsaw puzzle until it makes sense.  

I've plotted my trip to have a visual, and here is what it looks like:

2 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
