Welcome and itinerary

Welcome and thanks for checking out my blog.

As you may or may not have known, I will be traveling throughout Europe (and part of Africa) for the 2009 spring semester--that is, from January 12 until May 12.

I'll be posting updates and pictures of my travels as often as possible whenever I have internet access. For the time being, I thought I'd share with you my itinerary the way it is penciled in at the present moment; it very well may change as the journey is underway. If you've visited any of the countries/cities that I've listed, please do not hesitate to share any recommendations/tips/pointers/stories(/connections) you may have, as I welcome any and all advice. Thanks in advance.
