Hello, starting to plan a new trip
Hey everyone. So, i have recently decided to take another trip abroad (i've done 6 weeks around western europe). I'm hoping to go to europe again, but this time take more time and spread out a little farther.
I thought i should introduce myself because i will be around here for quite awhile planning and coming up with ideas for my trips. I'm sure i'll think of questions the more into my plan I get.

I am really hoping to get over around Greece this time, but i'm hoping to be gone for at least 6 months, so hopefully i'll have time to see a whole bunch of different places!

welcome welcome!!! Greece is definitely a good idea - as Anthony Bourdain once said... "ahhh Greece, the land of mythic beauty. Actually I think the Greeks invented mythic beauty." It's true!

"I set out alone, finding no companion to cheer the way with friendly intercourse, and no party of travellers with whom to associate myself. Swayed by an overmastering impulse within me, and a long-cherished desire to visit those glorious sanctuaries, I resolved to quit all my friends and tear myself away from my home."
