Hey everyone! My name is Meghan and I am a 20-something, who, along with my boyfriend, dropped everything to go travel the world. I am using this page as a way to document our journey, but also to hopefully share some advice along the way.
Four days in Santorini, Greece. The majority of this post is going to be pictures, because explaining Santorini (and all of Greece for that matter), is. - ppt download. Four days in Naxos. “What if I don’t like traveling?” Wait.
What? Did I really just say that out loud the night before we leave the country for five months? Three Days in Lisbon - Download - 4shared - Robert Pinon. Three Days in Seville. Similarly to Madrid, we went into the Seville trip knowing that it was going to be hot.

One thing that most people tend to agree with is that the act of traveling generally sucks and is the worst part of doing a long term trip like this. Going into this trip, Meghan and I really didn’t know what to expect in terms of transportation (which would be the most expensive, the most convenient,etc), so in this series I’m going to break it down by which modes of transportation suck the most and which ones sucked the least. Ranked 10 (suckiest) to 1 (least suckiest). 10. Taxis – Far and away taxis in Europe have been the worst mode of transportation for us.
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet. Seven days in Sicily. First off, apologies for the recent lack of postings.
The last month we have been having a lot of fun traveling and as a result, the blog has been a little neglected. A lot of content is coming your way soon! After Malta, we spent seven days on the Italian Island of Sicily, splitting our time between the city of Catania on the Eastern side of the island, and Palermo, on the West. Three Days in Valencia. Originally we weren’t planning to go to Valencia.
I can’t really remember the reason why, maybe it had something to do with cost, but our original plan was to go to a small coastal town called Almeria, after our time in Seville. However, after talking with some friends who loved Valencia and realizing that it was not to be missed, we decided to scrap our original plans and make a three day pit-stop to Valencia on our way to Barcelona. We flew from Seville to Valencia which was so easy and fast it was silly. I think our tickets cost about $40/each on Iberia air, the flight took an hour and the plane was only half full. Why can’t American air travel be this easy and inexpensive? When we arrived to Valencia, we had some time to kill because our Airbnb host wasn’t ready for us yet, so we decided to check our bags at the train station and explore the city. One Week in Barcelona. After a very stressful month of traveling, we were ecstatic to be settling down in Barcelona for an entire week.
An entire week of not having to pack and lug around our backpacks seemed like a dream! Everyone that I know who has visited Barcelona absolutely raves about it and Casey visited last summer with his two roommates and loved it too, so I was very excited to see what all the fuss was about. The Airbnb Our Airbnb was very centrally located in the Sagrada Familia neighborhood. We stayed with a young couple and their two-year old daughter.

Sangria – Valencia Meghan and I had been stuck in the sun for two hours straight trying to hail a cab to get back to our Airbnb. Anyway, after a horrible afternoon, we finally got home and all of the food was waiting for us. #nopicture #fail 4. Best Travel Packs. I’m homesick… For my closet. Excellent Travel Packs. Moving sucks. – homebody abroad. Oh?
You already knew that? Of course you did, because every red-blooded human who has moved before says it at least once a day/hour/minute during the moving process. I just got back to my apartment after visiting Staples to buy 6 shipping boxes and bubble wrap, and during the EIGHT BLOCK walk home I thought I was going to cry at least 43 times.
