Read MoreGreek Maybe Time
/
I am convinced that every country believes they are the ones who are always late. The Slovakians called off a revolution for being late, the Spanish eat at 10 because they say they were never on time to an 8:00 dinner, and the Greeks are on Greek Maybe Time, or GMT. Seeing as I am a week late on this article, clearly I am still on Greek Maybe Time.

Zitch Eastern Europe
/
After four months of traveling with one person you begin to play games to avoid the repetition of stories you’ve already heard a thousand times, or just to pass the time until you meet a new group. Our personal favorite is “Zitch Dog.” From the ever so popular How I Met Your Mother, you say “Zitch Dog” whenever you see a dog. We have been playing so long we have stopped keeping score. Sometimes, for jokes, we will say “Zitch Snow” or “Zitch Cat” and now, after about three months of traipsing around Europe, “Zitch Eastern Europe.”

They say its addicting, a bug that bites you unexpectedly and there is not turning back from the itch that always needs to be scratched. It is a craving, one you can never seem to fully quench until you have seen every country and met every new person there is.
For me, I think it was the smell of somewhere new. You get so used to the every day smell of your life, your house, your clothes, that the first step off of the plane in a new place is the first breath of a new place and a new adventure.
I have been traveling since I was 9, I have been to over 20 countries and I will not stop until I have seen it all. I hope you can follow along with me on my great new adventure. And if you ever need a travel buddy, you'll know how to find me.
