"Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to..."
- Frodo to Sam
Bilbo was right. It IS a dangerous business going out your door... I love that about travel. Most of world travel is just showing up-- getting on the plane, taking the train, and being aware of the people culture around you (and trying not to stand out as a loud, obnoxious American).
Tomorrow I walk out my door and leave for Europe for a whole month! I'm in between jobs and had a free ticket with Air France after being bumped last fall and my friend Summer is off for a bit... so, what better time to go?! Since I was six, I have dreamed of going to Lucca, Italy (where my family is from) -- And ever since visiting Switzerland, I've wanted to hike near Lake Geneva. I have no idea what the next month holds. We'll be traveling to Switzerland and Italy and of course relaxing a bit in Clamart, France-- where we like to call home. Pray that our steps would be guided, for safety and that we might be a blessing to those we meet-- especially the missionaries.
I am not sure how much I will get to keep this updated, but I will share some of our travel experiences here over the next month if you want to keep track of my journey. I still have to learn how to post pictures... so keep checking.
