Solo travel

I'm not sure why I didn't blog about this, but last summer I went on my first major solo trip to Europe. I was kinda nervous, being a woman in a foreign country and staying in youth hostels for the most part, but it ended up being a fantastic trip. I reaffirmed my love for the city of lights, got to do some awesome things (like dance sur le pont d'Avignon), met some great people (especially in Montpellier), and really got to follow my heart the entire time, seeing where the wind took me.
At the same time, I am thankful for the Palay family, who ended up being a real life-saver when I accidentally messed up my train tickets. I hope I got to show them a good time in my favorite city and they gave me a place to stay and some absolutely amazing meals. The Palays won for best neighbors that month!
Ok, I promise I'll put some retro-posted pictures and such up at a better time (not in the middle of a crazy week of school, oops) of both France and Greece.

EDIT: I'm also going to France in the second half of May, so I'll really have plenty to post after that...
