Hello, starting to plan a new trip
Hey everyone. So, i have recently decided to take another trip abroad (i've done 6 weeks around western europe). I'm hoping to go to europe again, but this time take more time and spread out a little farther.
I thought i should introduce myself because i will be around here for quite awhile planning and coming up with ideas for my trips. I'm sure i'll think of questions the more into my plan I get.

I am really hoping to get over around Greece this time, but i'm hoping to be gone for at least 6 months, so hopefully i'll have time to see a whole bunch of different places!

welcome welcome!!! Greece is definitely a good idea - as Anthony Bourdain once said... "ahhh Greece, the land of mythic beauty. Actually I think the Greeks invented mythic beauty." It's true!
