I'm also the only traveler in my family and I did my first big Europe trip at around the same time and paid for it all by myself which made me proud. When you have the bug, you have the bug. :)Schaufensterbabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888012743188268815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175890615529726581.post-78872892139258603012010-09-04T07:10:41.845+03:002010-09-04T07:10:41.845+03:00In my RSS feed, this post gets cut off at 'I w...In my RSS feed, this post gets cut off at 'I was 23 years old and being laid' and I just had to read the full version (I always do anyway, but this was an awesome intro!)<br /><br />My travel-start was very similar- a non travelling family, 75% of them still living on the same island off the West Coast of Canada, where three (and now 4) generations had been born and raised. I was 19 and decided to go to Germany to visit a penpal I'd had in high school. I was a great nerd that way. I spent a month with her in Dresden then Berlin and my little island mind was blown. I kept going after that, on to Holland, then France (where the 28 year old from Edmonton that i shared a room with told me I HAD to go up the Eiffel tower because when would I ever get the chance to visit Paris again? [er, about a few dozen times over the next decade or so?]), then off to Ireland for a few months of pre-Couch Surfing couch surfing (it was 1994- the intarwebs hadn't really been invented/mass produced yet) and hitch hiking. It was awesome. I didn't want it to stop so...well, it hasn't stopped! Hello from Shanghai!MaryAnnehttp://www.ephemeraanddetritus.comnoreply@blogger.com
