Safe and sound

Merry Christmas everybody!

I am in Rome and the trip has been amazing thus far. Even after a small bought with food poisoning and millions of hours on trains, this is such a rewarding experience. So far, we have gone to Barcelona, Bilbao, San Sebastian, Hendaye, Bordeaux, Nice, Milan, Formia, Rome and Taormina. I cannot wait to see you all again! Not too much longer.

Happy new year, as well!

Cheers.
Dan

Bon voyage.

Good evening, sports racers:

The past few weeks have been pretty relaxed. With classes finishing up, the temperature getting colder and the rain moving in, things settle down a bit in Liverpool's December. I'm finished with class until my exams in January, so I'm taking a few weeks to travel around Europe. It's going to be an odd thing living out of a backpack, especially during the holidays. Each piece of rail I travel along will bring me further into unfamiliar territory. My home will be transient - taking form anwhere I can stop and read a little bit of On the Road before catching some sleep. My plans will undoubtedly change, and I'm exciting to see where they take me. I'll see many of you again in about a month! Be ready.

Current plan of ATTACK:

Barcelona -> Marseille -> Nice -> Venice -> Rome -> Sicily -> Rome -> Vienna -> Munich -> Paris -> Liverpool.

I'm going to try my best to check in to this blog as much as I can, even if it's only a sentence or two. Check ya laterrrrrrrr.
