Not all those who wander are lost.
In my experience people who have travelled tend to talk very highly of it. They will say things like "it made me a better person" or it "really opened my eyes and matured me". I'm pretty sure that most of this kind of talk comes from people who do long travels such as backpacking Europe. However, thats not always the case. Even a small weekend travel to an unknown place can broaden your mind.
As a child I always enjoyed adventures whether it was just a mountain biking ride through the woods in my town or a road trip with my family and friends. This year I decided to buy a ticket to Frankfurt, Germany with two of my friends. We intend to travel around Europe for at least one month. I've always wanted to travel around Europe with my friends and see parts of the world that I haven't yet.
We don't leave until May 16th so we have a bit of time to plan. This is the part where you wan to make sure you get it right. You don't want to miss something that you would be interested in. I started by looking on a website called Lonely Planet. Lonely Planet is wonderful! They have destinations around the world and have utilized Google Maps to help. If you look at Europe for example there is place marks set at cities. You can click the place marks and see pictures and read reviews. There really is a plethora of websites that will help you gain insight on travel destinations in Europe but in my opinion one of the best ways to learn is by asking someone who has done it. A perfect example is a blog that I found called Fire At Will: Memphis to Munich.
