Wow Tyler - I haven't gotten through all of them yet but some of you pictures are amazing!! That shot of the Paris subway and that shot on the home pg of the girl in the sombrerro - unbelievable! I am green with envy - sounds like you had a wonderful experience.

Thanks for the info on Norway Tyler. I will check that apartment out as well as the Dorms. I would rather spend the money on more sightseeing that hotels rooms!

My daughter and I have just looked at all your photo's - what a great trip. We are green with envy.

What a cool trip! Your pictures are amazing...you really are a great photographer. Puts my pictures to shame! I loved checking out the pictures of the places I will be visiting and places I long to visit. I would love to go on a really long European adventure. If only those little things called bills didn't get in the way.....

Thanks for sharing!

tyler,
thank you for your response. I have never been to any of the countries you have mentioned that you would go back to.
I am hearing over and over about Croatia and Turkey. Maybe in a few years....

Your pictures are wonderful.

katzen

ok, so I cheated and ended up looking at the pictures while I'm supposed to be working ... absolutely beautiful shots. What a great eye for photography you have. What type of camera did you use? Looking forward to seeing the pictures on Munich and Bavaria.

Tyler - I'm really diggin' your photos! What kind of camera did you use? Also, your enthusiasm for the trip you took is quite evident and I'm glad you had a blast over there!

Tyler:
Great prose and pix...you are an excellent photographer! I looked at all of your pix as I've been to every country in both todays and yesterdays Europe....so it was thrill seeing so many familiar places through your keen camera eye. Thank you for sharing....

I am about to check out your pics but needed to read your journal first. Sounds like an AMAZING experience. Thanks for posting your site!

TylerTraveler

Wow thanks guys! Now I definitely have to get the rest of my pictures up I still have to put up my French Riviera, Switzerland, Munich, Greece and Turkey pictures online...

"Tyler - I cant figure out who's who - mind telling us about yourselves?"


Not a problem, I'm Tyler, The girl in most of the pictures is my sister Kristin and the guy you see sometimes is my friend Brandon.

I headed off with Brandon at the start of the trip, and Kristin - seeing all the pictures and hearing about the trip - decided she didn't want to miss out so she quit her job and bought a ticket to Latvia to meet up with us at the halfway point.


The camera I used was a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I also took along a Casio Exilim 5mp ultraslim (which broke halfway through the trip). It was nice to have both cameras along because I would use the big DSLR for normal shooting but if I went out at night and didn't want the huge camera along with me I would take the pocket camera. Alot of those "night pictures" didn't get posted because of the sensitivites of some of my readers (i.e. grandparents haha).

Ok... I've got to get the rest posted...

Thanks so much again guys, you have no idea the what that means to me!

=)

Awesome - I just spent about half a day at work reading and looking at everything.

I have unbelieable travel lust right now, even though I return to Australia in 135 days to visit family!

gomiki

Your title "101 Days..." grabbed my attention. I jumped to the Venice pix and they are wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this and I can't wait to read the rest and see the pix!

lucy_d

Tyler, Your trip report and pictures are wonderful! I know your family and friends enjoyed reading about your adventures along the way. You are so fortunate to have been able to take this trip! Thanks for sharing!

katzen

I'm glad to hear you used the Canon Digital Rebel XT. I just bought one myself a month ago and am in the process of learning how to use it. What awesome pictures!! Can't wait to see the rest of your pictures!

BostonGal

emilid - ditto!

I just finished looking at your pictures. I've only been traveling a couple years, and I keep begging my hubby to have us both take a sabbatical to do something like this. I have been bitten so hard by the travel bug, and your recaps and pictures do nothing but make it worse!

Thanks again for posting such great details and pictures. I've been DYING to do Prague, Turkey and Croatia for a while, it was great to see more first-hand shots of the areas.

Sue_xx_yy

This was fabulous. Your personality and those of your sister and friend just soaked in through the photos and narrative.

You've been to so many more countries than I have - but alas, back in the dark ages when I was a student so many of those countries were difficult to visit, being still the Iron Curtain era. Even then a friend formerly of what was then Czechoslovakia (yes, he had to escape, age 23, with little more than the clothes on his back) would rave and rave about Prague. Maybe someday we'll go.

Thanks again.

TylerTraveler

That's so true... traveling to a lot of these Eastern European countries 15 years ago as well as the "Yugoslavian" countries like Croatia would have been improbable if not impossible. So NOWS the time to go! I just couldn't believe how few tourists I saw in Croatia in March/April (albeit those aren't huge tourist months)... So if you long for a break from the crowds of Venice, Florence or Prague head east and you'll probably find what your looking for but without standing shoulder to shoulder with a mob of tourists. Has anyone tried to walk across Charles Bridge on a hot summer day? Yikes!


I just got pictures of Nice/Monaco and my pictures from Switzerland up

Tyler - thanks for filling in the gaps on my questions about who you guys are and how everyone fit together. Very cute people!

Whats next?

TylerTraveler

What's next?

I'm not positive which leads me into my request for a game called "Let's plan Tyler's Life" haha

just kidding


I'm not really sure right now. I'm still trying to recouperate from these last 101 days.

I'm obsessed about travel and while in Europe these last 101 days I really found myself longing to travel to Asia for my next trip... I met so many wonderful people from Japan, Korea and the like and they very nearly have me talked into going there. I can be persuaded faily easily to travel somewhere. I made a last minute decision to go to Turkey based on someone I met in Nice.


I also met a lot of English teachers in places like Prague and Poland and really thought that that sounded like a perfect way to spend a year.

There are too many places to go and not enough time or money to see them all!

Maudie

Just finished the Switzerland photo's - they are incredible, 2 weeks there will be our last stop before heading home. I can't wait!!!!

Your photo's are awesome, thank you for sharing them with us.
