The most nomadic person I have ever seen- @NomadicMatt and my
saving grace during my first ever backpacking trip (Hostelworld) and Vayama are giving away a free Europe trip and who would want to miss this chance!
Not me... So, here goes right at the deadline (as usual), my post to convince
them that I want it.
Who am I?
A recently graduated medstudent aka doctor. Sounds lovely
and wow right? I must be this busy-bee saving away lives like Dr.House/ Dr.Grey
right? Well, no and no. Iam in this transit phase between med-school (the
extremely long period that somehow flew away) and residency (another
excruciatingly long period that I hope to somehow get into)...
What am I doing now?
Well, like I said I am in transit (not the airport kinds-
that ones that are good- if you manage to get a transit visa!... But the
uncertain-phase-of-life types!)
Do I like traveling?
Duh! Why do you think Iam up at 2am and writing in the rain!
Have I been to Europe before?
Yea. My first attempt (a fantastic one) at backpacking!
There were mistakes I learned from, there was a massive culture-blast, there are places I wish to visit again and
again forever, there are memories!
Why do I want this trip?
So, finally I come to the point. Here goes. I have been to
Vienna and Prague. A day here and a day there- enough to make me fall in love
with the cities (and leave me desiring for more). Budget, time (remember
med-school) and a medical conference to attend were my restraining factors.
Now, I have the time (and maybe you guys can provide me the means) to explore
the nooks and corners of the serene, culture-rich continent I so loved!
What I did then?
My first touchdown was Vienna- The Wombats- my first
experience with a hostel and gosh! It was awesome- I got to meet some really
cool travelers. In Prague, just walking down the streets, was sightseeing.
But... There is that void- I didn't see that, I didn't eat that, I didn't do
that!
But, how long can you hold onto just memories!
What I wish to do now?
'Wish'- What a lovely word! A beautiful ring, the sound
sends me day-dreaming!
I wish to cycle as much as I can- through the bustling city
and the quaint countrysides. My attempt at going green and going healthy.
Discover Europe, and the European ways at my own pace, their way.
I wish to go sit by the Danube, staring away at the rising
sun and the setting sun.
I wish to walk through the cobblestone streets of Prague,
and absorb all the sounds and views the rich culture provides, to just sink in
everything.
I wish to cruise through on a bike!
I wish to preserve my memories in a journal (apart from this
fickle brain of mine!)
I wish to go, get lost and find my way back!
I wish to create a story for myself!
I wish to unwind, discover and get enriched!
I wish to go!
P.S. Another plan this time- I want to visit a med-school in
every city I visit! (sounds geeky- Naah! This one is also just for fun!).

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
Great article. I've enjoyed this contribution. Its nice to see every questions answered in a blog post like this. I will add this post on my blog and link to it. Thanks for a clear informative post, I've learned a lot. I hope to see videos though as I can be A.D.D and reading articles is not my favorite thing to do online. So what I do sometimes is just print the whole thing and read offline.
Thanks for the informative article, it was a good read and I hope its ok that I share this with some facebook friends. Thanks.
The recommendations you discussed here are really useful. It absolutely was such a fun surprise to have that awaiting me after i woke up to find this event. Thank you very much for the tip!
This is interesting and amusing trip experience of Vienna and Prague.
