It’s almost confirmed…
I am most likely graduating a quarter early. So that means a Solo Backpacking Europe Trip!!!!!
Thanks dad for the vote of confidence. Just need to get my mother onboard now 🥳
With all this potential time before getting a job, I wanted to curate a list of the places I’d like to visit, and some crazy bucket list items I could try.
I will continue to edit this post. Adding and checking off items, and hopefully making separate posts for some of them.
First up, destinations
- Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹
- Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹
- Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸
- Nice, France 🇫🇷
- Rome, Italy 🇮🇹
- Bologna, Italy 🇮🇹
- Prague, Czech Republic 🇨🇿
- Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺
- Athens, Greece 🇬🇷
- Delphi, Greece 🇬🇷
- Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴
Hm. Not sure if I’ll have time for all of this, but hopefully 1.5 months will cut it.
Tbh stuff I can do right now (SD edition)
- A full beach day - dinner included
- Ho chi minh trail
- An’s dry cleaning (can’t believe I haven’t been yet 😐)
- Zoo 🐼
- Cave store, even if it’s overrated
- Picnic at Kate Sessions
Funky, miscellaneous, and also with no timeline
- Learn how to handstand
- Become an extra in a show/movie
- Make a clarified cocktail
- Watch Evil Bong on Amazon Prime with Nidhi
- Host/Attend an anything but a cup party
- Visit the sand dunes near SD
- Dine at a Michelin star restaurant
Oops, originally I was going to make some crazy bucket list items specifically for Spring and Summer 2026 (when I will be utterly jobless). But I don’t see why majority of these items need to follow that timeline! Other than the destinations, of course.
I will keep y’all updated.
