Hello!
I created this blog because I heard that's what all the cool kids are doing these days when they go on trips: travel blogs. Considering that I'm not taking my laptop on my trip, it would be difficult to e-mail everyone from an Internet Cafe in the few minutes that I'll ever be in one, so this is probably the simplest way to contact a maximum number of people with minimum effort.
About my trip: I'm leaving June 21st and will be landing in Rome early in the morning of the 22nd with only one backpack and a railpass to my name- then the real adventure begins. I'll be going from Rome to Venice to Milan to Lucerne to Zurich and then finally to Berlin, where my study abroad is based at the Goethe Institute for the month of July. After that I will be in Tübingen studying at Tübingen Universität for the month of August. Food will be eaten, pictures will be taken and ich werde mich verlaufen. (If that last part bothered you, get over it. This will be a bilingual blog and there's nothin' you can do about it.) I may even speak to strangers and hang out in bars (drinking orange juice, of course.)
Countdown: 61 Days. Exactly two months from today!
P.S. The title of this blog in no way refers to me being a tramp in the modern sense of the word, although I get a good laugh at the pun also. It's a Mark Twain reference.
