First ride

DAAAAMN!!! This is so awesome! The first day is going pretty good so far. After getting ready this morning, my mom picked me up. She took me to the store to buy a new rain cover for my new backpack (I’ll explain this later). After that she took me to Hazeldonk. This is a truckContinue reading “First ride”

Here we go!

This is it then! Just woke up on the day I’m leaving everything behind. In about 2 hours I’ll get dropped on my starting point. Yesterday I decided to start off in a southern direction. So that will probably be Belgium, France and Spain for the first days/weeks. I didn’t have enough time during preparationContinue reading “Here we go!”

1 more week

Today is the first day living out of my bag. And it’s going pretty good so far. Started the day with a nice hot shower, only to dry myself off with my travel towel. It feels kind of weird but it does the job. Now just wait and see how long it will take forContinue reading “1 more week”

Home in a bag

There it is, lended to me by someone special! My bag, my backpack, my everything on thist trip, but most of all, my home. Why my home? Well, for the upcoming period it will be all i have. I will be literally living out of my backpack. At this point my bag is almost fullyContinue reading “Home in a bag”

Why and how?

Life is short, and we only get to live it once. I want to look back and say I did exciting things and lived life on my own terms, not say I spent my life reading blogs like this during my lunch break while wishing I was doing the same thing. No one dies goingContinue reading “Why and how?”

10 more days of preparation

Yes! This thing is getting real. I’m so exited and just can’t wait to leave, but this will be a hard week. A week full of hard work preparing and saying goodbye to people. Definitely since I’ve been ill for the past few days. But I’m getting better by the hour now. Today was theContinue reading “10 more days of preparation”

The road to nowhere

Everytime I visit a new country I’ll update this map. For now I’ve got The Netherlands and Belgium highlighted because that’s where I’ve been today. The country’s in red are not likely for me to visit but we’ll see where this trip will get me.

Facebook page is up!

To make it all a bit easier to follow, I decided to also make a Facebook page. It’s called nomoneytavel and you can access it by simply clicking the Facebook logo above ^ You can like the page if you want to keep updated.

Two weeks to go

Today in two weeks I’ll be good to go. Hopefully I’ll be on my way already. Picked up by a kind driver who’s willing to take me to my first stop. For this post I’m going to try to put down some of my goals for the trip. I mean, it’s gotta be fun butContinue reading “Two weeks to go”

15 day countdown

In just over 2 weeks I’ll start my backpacking trip around Europe. At this point I’m just gathering all the stuff and information I might need before I leave. I’ve already notified the people I wanted and I will share this blog from now on. It’s kind of a scary feeling, knowing I will probablyContinue reading “15 day countdown”
