Whatsup Everyone! by Kyle
So this is the first of many posts to come for our blog. Its only Dec. 30 and we should be on our way to the old (new for us) world in about a month. This is an exciting time for me as Im sitting here wondering whats about to come my way for the next few months. The possibilities are endless! I feel like this isnt the run-of-the-mill 3 week European backpacking trip, were gonna be away from home with no easy way back for quite a while. Im excited for the fun and challenge that this trip presents.
So, considering we have about a month, theres still a lot to do before we go. We just applied for a working holidaymaker visa for Britain. For those of you that don't know, its a visa that allows residents of commonwealth countries work and travel in England and Scotland for up to 2 years. So hopefully it will be a good investment, seeing as were gonna need jobs and we had to do some unholy things to get it lol (just kidding mom). But seriously Luke and I were joking about some of the questions in the application, like: "Have you ever participated in war crimes?-and if yes, please explain when and how" lol-so I guess that rules Osama Bin Laden out of applying. In case British immigration sees this-no I have not participated in war crimes lol. Just wanted to make sure everyone understood this and its crystal clear....takin no chances...yeppp...none....you still reading?.....alright good, lets continue.
Anyways, we still gotta buy the essentials for the trip so the bank account is gonna take a pretty heavy hit, which I guess Im gonna have to start getting used to. But who cares, money will never substitute for the experiences were gonna hopefully have. This is the trip of a lifetime.
So for those of you who care, this is where were planning to go for the next few months:
February-March-Spain, Portugal, and Morocco
March-June-Working in England, doing some travelling around the UK and Ireland during our spare time
June-Sep-France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Greece and hopefully a few others like Turkey, Poland, Austria, Czech Rep., etc to name a few-depends on time and money.
So there you have it everyone. These are subject to change, and I guarantee this list is gonna look different by the time were done. Im gonna do my best to keep everyone back home updated, so drop us a shout on the message board if youre bored and you find yourself browsing our site. Im also gonna do my best to write down my brutally honest thoughts throughout the trip, so it can be as close to being the real thing as possible for all you folks at home.
But I gotta go, Ive got a lot to plan and do before we head out. Hope y'all enjoyed the first blog of many (if anyones even reading this lol) and I hope everyone has a great New Year!
Catch ya soon,
Kyle
