I absolutely plan on coming.
Once I get done with school, my first vacay will be a Europe tour. Maybe just Spaiin/Portugal/UK, But I love Eastern Europe so much.

yeah... Europe is too big for just one vacay...
Think of it like visiting all the US states in one vacay.... not doable, huh?

Oh yeah I know. I tried to backpack western Europe when I was at the Academy after summer cruise.
I stayed at hostels for three weeks and saw quite a bit, but it was stressful and not as fun as it could have been had I taken my time. Iberia and maybe a two day trip to England would be great.

Iberia is so beautiful
I'd love to do a tour of the whole of Southern Europe. I want to do Italy and Greece in particular

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Tapas, poca. Tapas style.
How can somebody be into their twenties and not have experienced the delectable burrito? What strange and foreign place does Iro hail from? The moon?

How can someone be in their 50's (?) and not have experienced the wonderful snails, the exquisite "Bacalhau à Brás", nor the yummy "Queijo da Serra"?
What other-side-of-the-world-y place do you hail from?
