Default Hello All

Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Brad. I am a college student attending Eastern Michigan University. next summer I am planning a two month trip across Europe. It is a pretty open itinerary thus far so suggestions will be great. My major is history with a minor in sociology. I don't remember how I found this site but i have been reading a lot of stuff from here and I just wanted to say hi. I hope to be on here a lot more and hopefully I will get to know you all better.
Brad

Talking

I am hoping to do somewhat of a whirlwind tour of the continent in two months to better discover what i would eventually like to go back and see more of later. I was thinking of flying into Lisbon and flying out of Dublin home. I really am looking forward to seeing museums and historical sites. But any recomendations on anything will be helpful as this is my first trip outside of north america and really my first trip outside of the US other than parts of Canad and Puerto Vallarta Mexico.
