^ I enjoyed seeing your photos of your trip through the Stans. Not many people can say they have traveled there!

I'm traveling to England, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Netherlands. Maybe Greece. Everyone seems to love Greece.

I'm backpacking, but also staying with some relatives and friends here and there.

One of my dream trips is a rich man's safari, complete with the outfit:



"My word, look at that cheetah!"

"It's eating that baby gazzelle. So cute!"

I respectfully disagree. Europe is indeed a good place to travel for older folks when compared to other regions, but it's great place to experience when you are young. As someone who's been there as a backpacker just out of high school and also as someone in their forties, it's a different experience, especially along the Mediterranean.

I'd rather do the inexpensive and dangerous while young while leaving the more expensive and passive (as in comfortable) places until I'm older.
