"If you wait, all that happens is that you get older."

So here I am, on Blogspot. I suppose I've always had an interest in creating a blog, I've always thought that my thoughts were especially interesting and that everybody would be interested in reading them, however, here I am, with my fingers pressed against the keys and nothing in my mind to write about. Having nothing to write about is probably not the best way to commence a blogging experience, but if I don't set this up now, it probably won't happen.

The main reason for setting up this blog is so that while travelling throughout Europe (beginning in August 2011) my family and friends will be able to keep up with my life and travel vicariously through me via pictures, posts, videos, etc. Why I started now? I got some advice to begin practicing my writing and blogging now, before my big adventure (Thanks, Jon).

While I'm sort of on the topic of travelling, I suppose I'll put the list of places/sites that I refuse to neglect while in Europe. I've been gradually creating this over the past few weeks:

SPAIN:
- La Sagrada Familia
-Las Ventas
-La Plaza Mayor
-La Plaza del Toros
-Vineyards
-Ibiza
-Pamplona

ENGLAND:
-Westminster Abbey
-Big Ben
-Stonehenge
-Windsor Castle
-Buckingham Palace

FRANCE:
-Eiffel Tower
-The Louvre
-Versailles
-Arc de Triomphe
-Mont Saint-Michel
-Notre Dame

ITALY:
-Venice
-The Colosseum
-Tower of Pisa
-Vineyards

VATICAN CITY
-The Vatican

GREECE:
-Theatre of Dionysus
-Athens
-Parthenon
-Olympia

GERMANY:
-Brandenburg Gate
-Auschwitz
-Holsten Gate
-Berlin wall remnants
-Cologne Cathedral

I'm sure the list will expand over the next few months and I'll probably just keep the list updated.

Until next time.
