Hello! After some urging from a couple friends, I've decided to make a travel blog... so, uh, welcome! Please bear with me as I try to figure out how this works; those who know me well (or even a little bit) know that I'm terrible with technology.
The past few days have been absolutely insane. Thursday and Friday saw the end of my summer job and a handful of sad goodbyes to some Quebecois friends. Friday evening I (finally) moved out of UBC rez with a ton of help from my Dad and Heather, who are both awesome. I'm now in Abbotsford and find myself totally overwhelmed by the boxes and boxes of "stuff" I moved back with me... apparently I'm a junk collector, and the 5 years I spent in rez allowed me to accumulate ALOT of junk.
Anyways, most of the stuff will be sorted through and organized when I get back. If I was normal I'd be dreading it, but because I'm mildly OCD I'm actually quite excited about the idea of cleaning up the clutter. For now though, my main focus is trip planning and making sure I have everything I'll need for the next 6 weeks.
So... what's the plan? Right now the trip looks sort of like this (obviously subject to change):
London
Paris
Brussels
Amsterdam
Berlin
Prague
Vienna, Salzburg
Venice, Rome, Cinque-Terre
Lucerne
Freiburg
Bern, Geneva
Nice, Marseille, Arles, Avignon
Barcelona, Madrid
Dublin, Belfast
London
Aleesha and I leave tomorrow (eek!) and I'm back August 5... with every intention of showing up for ultimate the next day. In the meantime, I'll try to keep this up to date, and I'll try to be entertaining too (no guarantees). Looking forward to seeing many of you either at various points along the trip, or soon after I get back!

Bon voyage!
I'll see you at Ultimate on the 6th then. Don't worry, come back is the easy time change!
Hope you'll enjoy your trip ! ;)
You are absolutely right, you are a junk collector but love you all the same.
Have a nice trip Nicola, Amuse-toi beaucoup et reviens-nous saine et sauve ^.^
Have a great trip and post pictures! I'll miss you, my favourite OCD freak!
How exciting!! Can't wait to hear about your adventures. I'm living vicariously!
Hi Nicola,
I found the idea of a blog very interesting, actually I did the same for the 5 weeks I spent in Vancouver : http://vancouverexplorer.blogspot.com/ . It's hard butI know you can handle it. So have a fun and I'll try to read you very often...
