Reflecting on backpacking Europe for 2 months
This post is very long so I’ve tried to divide it into relevant/interesting/useful sections. Feel free to jump around, read it out of order, or go crazy with it. The sections I had the most fun writing were definitely the high level thoughts, the interesting things that happened to me and my biggest takeaways. So if you’re going to read anything in this post, I’d recommend reading those. Table of contents high level thoughts (attempting to) film a documentary while traveling traveling solo vs with friends my Europe journey favorites travel experiences I did which I’d 100% recommend some general concrete advice for traveling some interesting things that happened to me my biggest takeaways from my trip high level thoughts I graduated college in August of last year, instead of jumping straight into full-time work or more school like many of my friends, I decided to take a sabbatical and travel for a couple of months. Initially, I was a little apprehensive about doing this because I didn’t want to “waste” several months, but I’m very glad I did it. If you’re in a position where you’re able or fortunate enough to be able to do this (and it’s cheaper than you think it is, more on this below!), I would highly recommend it! Personally, I have no dependents, had made a bit of money throughout college from work, and knew that a large gap of uninterrupted time when you start working is rare, so I thought why not.
