A two month trip covering 10+ countries in Europe for $3,000. Yes that price includes everything. Plane ticket $1,183,eurotrain pass about $1,125,692 left over spread over 60 days equals about $11 a day. $11 for food, local travel, entertainment and other living expenses. $11 will translate to about 5-7 euros.

Lets put this into perspective, a hostel is anywhere from 10-30 euros, bread 1-3 euros, local travel (buses, subways, etc) 2-10 euros. Two months that does not even include the comfort of a hostel, but the comfort of the streets, open fields and the random couch. Two months that does not include anything more than bread in my diet, a trip that does not include a walk down Le Louvre to see the face of the mona lisa (it looks just like all the posters you see anyways), but a trip that includes the best story of my life.
Why go you ask? "You are crazy" (almost everyone I talk to) Well the quick and most true answer is because I want to. "But wait, you are just going because you want to? because you can? because you are better and cooler than me? and I'm to afraid to do anything like that because I can't leave the comfort of my home? because I can't do that, because I don't have the money, because I am getting married, because I have school and work, because . . . ?" (everyone that is afraid of life)
Well . . YES! Do I need anything more?
I am not afraid to live my dreams. I am not going to wait for life to catch up, life is the one that needs to catch me. I am not going to wait for something to happen while I waste my life away. You coming? sorry there is to much to do to sit still, "I'll see you later" (Steve)
