Help me find my path of travel!
Help me find my path. Hello r/solotravel, first time posting here so bear with me as I try to include anything that would be relevant! :) I will try to post this in a manner that provides important information in an easy to find and upfront way, please let me know if I forgot anything! Thank you in advance!!!!
Questions: The purpose of this post is to gather the input of experienced travelers. More specifically, I would like you to:
Tell me why I should go to a country/city/event (if event, please specify the country and city in which it is held) Tell me why I shouldn't go to a country/city/event Tell me about your most memorable experience in Europe, I love stories! Provide me with any additional advice on solo travel Let me know where I can get the best meal of my life! :)
Character sheet: My name is Nick, and I am a 21 year old, 5'7" (1.7m) tall, Caucasian male currently studying Finance and Mathematics at a 4 year university in the Pacific Northwest, which is also where I am from. I exercise often, and am therefore in decent shape.
I am planning to spend between 42(6) and 56(8) days(weeks) in Europe this summer, during the months of May, June, and July. I am on a budget of approximately 5000 USD(4000 EUR) in total. My tentative path of travel looks like this: https://gyazo.com/67017aeceec13ff272d7b0841994ea69 . However, traveling in a straight line is not the goal, as I know I will miss out on a lot of things. With my current information, I've made a path from the capitals of some of the more prominent European cities.
The most important country in this trip is Greece. I am fascinated by Ancient Greek mythology, sculptures, and architecture. Out of all "touristy" attractions, these are the ones that I really don't want to pass up. They also make some damn fine food! However, I am sure I will have a good time anywhere. Once again, everywhere and everything is open for discussion and debate!
Extra Info: I plan on using hostels or couchsurfing for the majority of my lodging. Coffee is my favorite non-alcoholic drink; I plan on getting a coffee every time I sit down in a new area. I prefer land-based activities (not a very good swimmer).Bicycling is cool! Hikes are cool! Exploring a city is fire! Nature is lit! I plan on visiting a museum per country I spend some time in, however what I'd really prefer to do is partake in local activities, ie attending a futbol game in madrid, or a rugby game in wherever the hell they play that! I am okay with alcohol and weed (edible only). I will not smoke anything. Cocaine and ecstasy both interest me, but I don't think I'm comfortable doing them for the first time in a setting that is not heavily controlled. I like a mix of Edm, pop, rap, and classical music.
Personal Statement: To whomever read all the way down to the bottom of my post, thank you! My reason for doing this trip is to really push my comfort zone. I haven't done a lot of stuff in my life yet. I've never been one to party or dance(what do you do with your arms!). I haven't snorkeled. Hell I haven't swam in an ocean or been on a snowy mountain. But, when I'm overseas, every night will be a new night, and every day will bring something different. Something I'd never prepare for otherwise. I want to relax, enjoy the culture, and sample the delicacies of the world. But at the same time, I want to grow. Please tell me where the sprinkler is and point to the sun. I'll do the growing.
Thank you!
