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."
