Beschreibung
The story of my epic 37 day trip around Europe, from Finnish Lapland to stylish Milan.
One Interrail Pass. A strong sense of adventure. A will to travel wherever. A plan to have no plan.
The story of my 37 day trip around Europe, taking in sixteen countries, from the wilds of Finnish Lapland to beautiful Budapest and romantic, sophisticated Paris via the small town charm of Zakopane, problems only arising when my plan to have no plan philosophy hit some serious snags.
Highlights included watching football in Tallinn with a Tony Soprano lookalike, being saved from homelessness by Finland's third best wrestler, the wonder of Norway's stunning landscape, the surprises offered by Krakow and Bratislava, and a perfect last night in Paris.
Lowlights included an ill-advised night hike through the Norwegian mountains, stalker issues in Geneva, budget shattering prices in Scandinavia, a tourist crisis in Prague, police drama in Western Austria, and plenty of last minute dashes for trains and buses.
All in all, one mighty rollercoaster ride of fun, loneliness, wonder, anxiety, adrenaline, panic and every other emotion under the sun.

I studied English Literature at the University of Leicester and have always had a keen interest in creative writing, whether that be screenplays, novels, short stories or plays. I am a massive Tottenham Hotspur fan, which is both a blessing and a curse, and a big watcher of TV comedy and drama. As well as this, I enjoy travelling and exploring new places, where I aim to be as flexible and spontaneous as possible. Problem being, I'm a fairly useless person when it comes to any of the boring stuff like being prepared or booking accommodation in advance, which often leaves me in potentially dodgy territory. But all adds to the experience, I tell myself.
