Month 1 Summary

So it is officially one month since I began traveling!! I've been on the move so much and going so quickly, it's hard to imagine that I have been gone for 30 days. It's been a whirlwind of excitement and new experiences and I'm loving almost every minute of my journey. Though, my savings account is going away alarmingly quick and I don't know how long my one year journey will last, I know I will at least get all the way through my Euro Adventure. So without further ado, here is a summary of my first month on the road.

Iceland, Norway, Holland, Belgium, France

Cities visited

Reykjavik, Skogar, Vik, Hofn, Djupivogur, Breiddalsvik, Stodvarfjordur, Egilsstadir, Husavik, Akureyri, Skagafjordur, Holar, Borgarnes, Stykkisholmur, Hellnar, Arnastapi, Budir, Bergen, Askoy, Oslo, Amsterdam, Volendam, Zaanse Schans, Marken, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, Lueven, Paris, Montmatre

High

As you can see, I've been moving extremely fast through Europe and getting more exhausted by the day. My absolute high was getting to spend one week in Paris, getting to spend a couple of days laying in bed until noon and sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather. I also enjoyed my sprint through Iceland. I dread cities and being out in nature was good for my soul.



Low

My low time would have to be when I was in Belgium. I really enjoyed Ghent, but the rest of my time spent there was not that great. I'd been on the move a lot, alone and lack of preparation had me scrabbling around frantically looking for a place to stay.



I've been enjoying my time so much, but I am missing home quite a bit. The next month to come, I'll be spending with the boyfriend in Italy and my dad and cousin in Germany. The thought of slowing down even more excites me and I hope my need to travel is revived because right now it's at an all time low and the euro is KILLIN' me. I hope you're enjoying following me around Europe and can't wait to update you all on what else I've been up to :)!
