EEET2012 – Day 0

This. Is. It.

Now this is not ‘It’, the famous last shows supposed to be presented by Michael Jackson, before he died, this is something way different.

This is the start of the EEET 2012.

What-the-fuck is that, I hear you say?

EEET 2012 stands for: Eastern Europe Eurail Trip 2012.   

Stuff to be packed.

A 27-day trip, on 2 planes, through (at least) 5 countries, (at least) 12 cities, on (at least) 12 trains and without a doubt endless experiences, meetings and stories to be told after this life changing event.  Well, life changing… Will it be? I don’t really know. Let’s be honest here, I’ve already travelled through 21 countries during my 21 years on this planet called Earth. I’ve had plenty of experiences, meetings and story-telling. My goal to visit at least 50 countries before I die is almost in its half. After July 2012, it will actually be over its half. Maybe I should adjust my dream... But let’s just see where we are when we reach 45 countries, right?

Enough said about how fabulous I am, how great my life is and how amazing the people I meet and make friends with are or have been. Let us look at the future... what will tomorrow bring?  No one knows. The only thing I know is that tomorrow, July 3^rd 2012, I’ll be leaving, together with Toon, one of my best friends, and Liesbeth, my girlfriend on a trip to Eastern Europe.  We’ll be going here:

The Trip.

Leaving by Ryanair from Eindhoven (NL) to Gdansk (Poland), heading for the Heineken Open'er Festival, meeting all my Polish Erasmus friends in Warsaw, Poznan –where German Mädchen Anja and Spanish chica  Laura will join us- and Krakow, travelling through the Czech Republic, meeting some of my best Argentinean friends and my German Erasmus roommate in Munich, travelling through Austria and Slovenia before enjoying a last week in Croatia visiting nice cities, beaches and hopefully with the occasional party.

I decided to do this trip after missing a visit to Argentina in January and after failing to find an internship in the United States this semester.  This trip is more or less as well the conclusion of my Bachelor studies of Business management with minor Marketing and Spanish at the Catholic College of Leuven, of which I graduated June 2012.

What’s next? What will the future bring? Where will I end up? Honestly, I don’t really care at the moment. The only thing I am going to do the next few weeks is enjoying my trip, enjoying my companions and trying to discover as many new things as I can: Europe’s biggest wooden pier, the world’s best know concentration camp, Croatia’s most beautiful cities… I’ll enjoy them all in different way.

For my followers or casual readers, I will try to update my blog as often as possible. I don’t know whether I’ll have internet every day, every other day or even once a week. But you may be sure that I’ll write down as much as I can, to keep you updated, to maintain the memories for me and also a bit to make y’all jealous! Haha

Let’s just say it the way it is: IT’S ON!
