My Solo Backpacking Trip in Europe

After graduating college, I made the questionable decision to adventure through Europe alone, hitting 8 countries in 6 weeks. I had nothing but a round-trip flight, an unlimited Eurail ticket, and a dream. Each day was a surprise—what hostel, city, or friend I would make.

Here are some moments from the journey that I’ll never forget.

Admittingly, I had some pretty sad or troublesome nights, but getting lost is the best way to find yourself. I wouldn’t trade the people I met or the lessons I’ve learned.

And as you all know, I love a good story.
