So your saving to backpack Europe only you don’t know how much you really need. Your friend says they spent this much, you asked everybody on facebook and even gave google a shot but your still not sure. I did the same thing and came up with a miss mash of information, none of it really answering my question, how much money do I need to backpack Europe? The worst ...

Featured Photo: Musée du Louvre, Paris

Perhaps I was finally over the jetlag or maybe my marathon day exploring Paris yesterday was to blame, but I slept way later than originally planned. Luckily for me so did my dorm mate from Spain which meant I had someone to explore the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay with. Sneaking into the Louvre via the train station that stops below allowed us to avoid the lines of people entering through ...

From The Cemetery To The Eiffel Tower

Thumbnail image for From The Cemetery To The Eiffel Tower

The thing about being abroad and only just having arrived is that you are overly keen to see everything and anything. This was abundantly apparent today, given I was hoping to see the Cemetery du Pere Lachise, the Catacombs, Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. My first stop was the Cemetery du Pere Lachise where I wanted to find both Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrision’s graves and just look ...
