My BFF Ryan and I backpacked through Europe summer 2007. We hit 17 countries (including the Vatican) in 7 weeks and had the time of our lives. It was by far the best experience of my life and we made memories Ryan and I will always share. We bungy jumped in Switzerland, went canyoning in Slovenia, gained 10 pounds from gelato in Italy, got yelled at by “ladies of the night” in Amsterdam, and found ourselves stranded at a nightclub in way out East Berlin in the middle of the night with no clue how to get home. Along the way we met interesting characters and made lifelong friends. Unfortunately, life has led us down separate paths at the moment and though we still attend the same school, I barely see Ryan any more. We need a chance to relive our adventures and make new awesome memories before life truly separates us when we finish school. My dream has always been to visit Australia and what better person to do that with than my traveling compadre whom I miss dearly?
