Ever since I was probably 11, I've wanted to travel around the world to see what I could see. Ten years later I am taking a step in that direction by traveling Europe. Though adventuring largely by myself, I shall meet several friends along the way. This is my story.

Running


Paris was rushed to say the least. Spent about 23 hours in the city most of which was great, but it is hard to truly experience a city of this size in such a short amount of time. Got to do a couple touristy things though.


One of my best friends at school was able to protect me from ‘ze froggies’ as she likes to say. Shannon speaks perfect French so that I don’t have to pathetically try. That made traveling France a much better experience.



In Marseille just before I was fortunate enough to have true Southern French cuisine thanks to Shannon’s mother and good friend. The food was fantastic!



We decided on a whim to tear up Amsterdam for just a quick day and a half-ish because she had to get back to her mother, and I had to continue my travels. Amsterdam was dope. Perhaps the best surprise of the trip. It’s beauty is unsurpassed in my book.



Ask me sometime about our adventure catching the train. Unbelievable. Somehow, for some reason we made it though.



After tending to the local frivolities, it was incredible to see a city with water everywhere you look. This is so because Amsterdam is made of many series of canals. I felt like I was in Venice.



We had a blast and I definitely hope to go back to Amsterdam in the future with close friends. Just try not to drop anything in the water… Oops.
