TO READ MY TRIP REPORT CLICK ON PICTURE
For 2006, the original plan was to go to Peru to hike the ancient Inca trails to Machu Picchu. Unfortunately,
my friends informed me that they could not do a trip this year because of other financial commitments. I was at
first slightly disappointed (not in them), but in the fact that I wasn't going on another international trip.
Then I asked myself, couldn't I just do a solo trip. I had read of many accounts from my favorite travel community
(Slowtravel) of others who have done it and had a good time. I'm a capable person. Certainly I could do the
same. Part of me was a little scared of doing this solo trip, but I could not bare the thought
of not being able to travel internationally just because I can't find someone who was also in the right place to take
the trip with me.
I picked somewhere familiar and then added someplace new to balance the trip out. I was toying with several
options and destinations and decided on the following places: Prague and Cesky Krumlov (Czech Republic), Salzburg (Austria)
and Munich (Germany).
I will admit that I'm going to miss having a travel companion along, but I've come to the realization that not only
is life too short, but it is also filled with "New Beginnings." I have a feeling that this will be one of many solo
trips to come!
This is essentially how my Back to Europe Trip 2006 was born and why I gave it the theme of "Life is Full of
New Beginnings."
