Hello everyone,

Well, what made you travel to Europe when it was your first trip?
As for me, at first i wasn’t planning to backpack to Europe. Since some of my relatives lived in Brussels and Berlin (they still live there), i was going to visit them and see around some places near there. It was just for taking a rest and having fun in spite of the expensive cost. However, unfortunately they were all to spend their summer vacation back at home, so i couldn’t come to sleep and eat gratis in those cities and my trip itself became vague but, because i didn’t like to give up going to Europe and i really wanted to see and feel how different it was in Europe, i started to make another plan as an alternative to backpack to Europe. After this one-month trip, i finally got to know the real pleasure of backpacking. Anyway, i guess it wasn’t a nice reason to start the first trip.

Now i’d like to hear some of your stories. Whatever would be welcomed. Thanks!
Happy travels!
