Flip a coin....and europe it is!
So a quick update with me: got a transfer approved from my clinic in brampton to one in scarborough so I packed up and moved out of my apartment in brampton july 1 :)
I took some vacation time in between so have been staying at my boyfriend's place bumming around, sleeping in, climbing, loving life and trying to figure out what to do with my time off! My original plan was to go out west, but that kinda crashed and burned last minute in a big way so I was left with time and some cash and no place to go...
So my new plan is... Europe!
To be honest, aside from the Czech Republic, Europe was never really on my list of places i had to see. But it was the only place I could think of that would be worth exploring in august for 2 weeks :)
After doing some research, I figured that in 13 days I probably would only be able to see about 2-3 places.... and europe was not cheap! holy shit! 30 euros a night for a hostel?
(and at this point everyone rolls thier eyes and are like, ummmm...anna? how did you NOT know that europe is SUPER expensive??? lol )
So.. I decided to hop on a tour :) Not my first choice for travelling, but its easy, surprisingly cheaper than travelling alone and we go a lot of places in a short period of time. I leave on wednesday, arrive england on thursday and go from there to:
*amsterdam, netherlands
*Munich, germany
*Hopfgarten, Austria
*Venice, Italy
*Switzerland
*Paris, france
...then back to london, england where i will hang out for a few days with some friends.
As a pretty independent traveller, I have some reservations about travelling via tour, but I guess we'll see how it goes! I will blog along the way as often as I can, with pics coming later as usual :)
cheers!
