Traveling Solo

When I read the narrative, "How I Learned to Travel Solo", it struck me in two ways. Firstly it was refreshing to find someone else who doesn't believe in guided tours and who has seen the real Europe. Not the shiny guidebook covers or the tour buses but the Europe I remember. My family and I were stationed overseas of 5 1/2 years so I did get a little nostalgic. The blog is well written and gives some smart advice about overseas travel, it ties into the theme of the first unit rather well.
