Back when I graduated from university (6 long years ago), I took a trip to Europe. I didn't have anyone to go with, so I booked with Contiki and I'm so glad I did. For those who don't know, Contiki is a tour operator specializing in tours for young folks (age 18-35) and from my experience mostly singles. It was such a great way to see Europe and to get a flavour for lots of countries - 10 in 1 month! I met alot of great people on the tour, many that I stayed in touch with for years after. It was a great time of my life, the short amount of time between school and work. I think I must have been alot braver then, because I can't imagine going on a trip with 50 strangers now, but at the time it seemed like the only logical choice.When I got back from my trip, I had about 20 rolls of film (yes rolls, this was 6 years ago) and it was then that I decided to start scrapbooking. So even though it is quite embarassing, this is a page from my very first album, which I think I completed in just a couple weeks! I flipped through it just the other day and even though my style has changed alot since then, I'm glad I took the time to journal and document the details as much as I did.

Isn't it funny how it's the memories that we appreciate and not so much all the embellishments and design? (not that there's anything wrong with your embellishments or design here-hee hee)
Are you getting excited for your next trip to Europe?
this is so cool. i'm totally jealous that you did this. i get bit by the travel bug more and more each year and i'm starting to think that when i'm done school for good in two years that i just might have to take a chance and book a trip like that. i've always wanted to see europe!
fun, fun layout.
I need to get more done
