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!).
wow....an xtremely long time, no type....i guess i found lots of friends to ramble wid....so no online blogging....been an year....but still new to blogging....
