"I started out my adventure as a farm hand on Bozedown Alpaca Farm in Berks, England. After about ten months, I decided to try something new, and made the move to the 'big smoke', London.
I worked in a trendy boutique in Covent Garden, in central London, and also in a large bookstore on Finchley Road in outer London.
After living in London for nearly a year, my visa was nearly up, so a friend and I decided to have one last adventure and went on our 'European Last Hurrah' ... this trip lasted for 21 days and spanned four countries.
We spent three days in Berlin, eight in Italy (Pisa, Florence, Rome and Naples), five in Paris, and five in Barcelona. Travel between countries was by cheap airlines (some as low as a few dollars for a return ticket!) and within countries, by train. We stayed in hostels everywhere, except in Barcelona where we were very lucky in that a friend allowed us to stay with her. Hostels were an inexpensive option and a great place to meet friends, quite often many from your own country!
This trip was definitely the best thing I have ever done. It helped me prove to myself what I could accomplish, and what I wanted out of life. I think everyone who can, should. I'd like to share with you some of the things I saw.
Ciao, Jesse".
