i miss travelling

last great vacation .. while i was studying in the states, spend 2 weeks in Italy (rome, venice, florence), and then another 2 weeks wandering around europe (paris, berlin, munich, hamburg, vienna, budapest, zurich ... errr .. did i miss anything ... )

i argue those to be the best years of my life .. went off to see the world, came back with empty pockets, empty bank account, maxed out credit cards, and a priceless sense of fulfilment and thirst for more. if tomorrow i struck the lottery or inherited a gazzillion dollars, i'd drop everything and wander around the globe

and i'd do it the best way. no cheesy tours being herded around in a bus. pick up my copy of let's go or lonely planet and get myself lost in the maze of civilization

i am my own herder.
