Bella, Sunan, and I finally arrive in Denmark!  Sunan gets a job as a manager of a restaurant, and the three of us begin exploring our new home.  For the next three months, we sail on an actual viking ship, tour castles and cathedrals, and eat delicious custards.

 

Sunan and Bella begin spending more and more time together, making me feel lonely and left out.  I begin touring Denmark by myself, and while I love the country, I miss having Bella by my side.  After a few weeks, Bella tells me that Sunan proposed marriage to her!  I'm shocked, since Bella and Sunan haven't known each other for very long, but Bella seems excited, so I'm happy for her.  She gets a job as a waitress at the restaurant that Sunan works for.

 

After talking it over with Bella and my parents, I decide to continue my travel adventure alone while Bella stays in Denmark to plan her wedding with Sunan.  I am nervous to travel to a new country alone, but I'm excited about the opportunities ahead.  After three months in Denmark, I travel to Costa Rica.  

 

I arrive in Costa Rica and begin sight-seeing.  While visiting Chirripó National Park, I meet another American tourist named Levi Zachary Birch.  He's a recent graduate of Boston College, having majored in Environmental Studies, and is also traveling the world before settling down in the States.

 

Levi and I hit it off, and we travel throughout Costa Rica together for two months.  Levi invites me to accompany him to Israel, his next travel destination.  I agree, grateful to have a new travel companion.

My name is Nicola 'Nicki' Rosalind Harris.
I am 22 years old and I have just graduated from Princeton University with a degree in History.
I've always wanted to travel the world, and as a graduation gift my parents have surprised me with a year-long trip around the world!
They've even arranged for my best friend, Arabella 'Ari' Eleanor Martin, to come along with me.

The first country we visit is Italy.
We spend four weeks taking gondola tours of Venice, visiting art museums and indulging in cups of gelato.
One day, when we're eating at our favourite restaurant, Ari starts making eyes at an attractive waiter named Raphael 'Raph' Riccardo Ferrari.
When it's time to leave, Raph's shift is over and he walks us back to our hotel. Ari and Raph have really hit it off and they exchange numbers.
They begin dating, and Raph tells us that he's planning on moving to Holland soon.
Ari is really into this guy, so the two of us decide that Holland might as well be our next stop too!
A few weeks later, the three of us travel to Holland.
We are excited to see what experiences this new country will bring us!

~~~~~

Ari, Raph and I finally arrive in Holland.
Raph gets a job as a manager at a restaurant, and we begin exploring our new home.
For the next three months we visit the Anne Frank house, sail down the canals of Amsterdam and sample cheeses, wines and herbs throughout the city.

Ari and Raph begin spending more and more time alone, and I start to feel lonely.
After a few weeks of touring the country mostly on my own, Ari suddenly announces that Raph has proposed!
I'm shocked, as they haven't known each other for very long, but Ari is delighted.
She gets a job at the restaurant he is managing.

After talking to Ari, Raph and my parents, I decide to carry on travelling alone whilst Ari and Raph decide to prepare their wedding and life together in Holland.
I'm nervous about travelling alone, but excited nonetheless.
After spending three months in Holland, I'm off to Switzerland!

My first stop when I get to Switzerland is the Rhine Falls, something I've always wanted to see.
I meet another American there named Marcus 'Marc' William Woodward.
He is a recent graduate of Purdue University, having majored in Physics.
He's also touring the world before going back home and settling down.

Marc and I hit if off, and spend the next two months travelling through Switzerland together.
He invites me to go with him to his next destination, Sweden.
I happily agree. It's nice to travel with someone!

Dear Diary,

 

     It's Isobel again. Isobel Hero Blankenship. It's been a while since I've written in here. 4 years, to be exact. Last time I wrote in here, I was a brand new freshman. I've now graduated from the University of Chicago, and after switching my major just about 500 times, I have a degree in Philosophy.

     I've decided to take a year off from normal life just to breathe, the last stage of my life has been a whirlwind. My parents have graced me by funding a trip around the world. I'm elated for the adventure. And to top it all off, they're letting me bring my best friend since sophomore year, Mirabel Martha Fitzpatrick.

     We've been packing together, it's been fun finding the perfect things. We leave tomorrow morning for Brisbane, Australia, 6:00 AM sharp, so I should be getting to bed.

 

Sincerely,

Isobel

Dear Diary,

 

       Australia has been a blast. We've traveled around a bit. Our first day in Brisbane, we went to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary where we got to hold koalas. It ended short, though, because one of the koalas bit Mirabel's finger and we had to take her to the hospital. She's alright, a couple of stitches did the trick. The next day, we took it easy and strolled through the botanical gardens. Next, we took a flight to Sydney and saw the opera house. We spent a day at Bondi Beach where we took surfing lessons. Not to brag, but I'm kind of a natural... After that, we went to Melbourne. We took a hot air balloon ride over the Yarra Valley and it was absolutely breathtaking. For dinner that night, we decided to go for some good ole Australian Barbecue. I was excited to try it, but Mira was a bit skeptical. We both ended up really liking it, though! Halfway through dinner, I saw a handsome waiter guy making eyes at M, and she was making eyes back. He came over to our table and introduced himself as Harrison Joseph Kelly. He was super sweet, very gentlemanly. He and Mirabel really hit it off, and Harrison decided to walk us back to our hotel. We (well, mostly Mirabel) told him about our year of travel and he told us he's moving to China next month. He dropped us off, told us goodnight, and gave Mirabel his number. When we got back into our room, Mira and I decided we'd travel to China next. She said she's pretty serious about Harrison, even though she'd only known him a few hours. We hung out with around breakfast time this morning and we're set to hang out with him tomorrow as well.

 

Having a blast,

Isobel

Dear Diary,

 

      Mirabel, Harrison, and I are about to board a flight to Beijing, China! We're so excited for what is to come. I know there are so many adventures on the other side of this flight! 

 

Not much time,

Dear Diary,

 

   China is so much fun. I've never eaten so much lo mein in my life. 

Our first stop here was this lovely village 2 hours north of Beijing called Mutianyu. From there, we could climb on a large section of the Great Wall of China. My favorite part was the GIANT alpine slide down from the wall. We then headed back to Beijing and did some pretty great shopping, I got the most awesome pair of Converse, they're sky blue. Mirabel found a nice pair of sunglasses and this adorable necklace with an elephant on it.

    In Beijing, we got to look at all of the buildings from the Olympics here last summer. Pretty amazing. I'm thinking of all of the great and legendary athletes that walked in that very place!

     Next, we headed to Xian where we saw the ancient Terracotta Warriors. I was always fascinated with the story of them in History class growing up, and now I can say that I've seen them with my own eyes!

     After that, we took a train to Shanghai. We've had lots of fun here, we toured the Yu Gardens and all of the neat museums in the city. We went to the aquarium one day and saw some pretty crazy looking fish. They let Harrison throw food in to the sharks! We spent a day at Disneyland here, it was fun. We enjoyed finding out the differences between Disneyland here and the one back where I grew up in California.

    Harrison proposed to Mirabel last week. It seems really sudden, but I'm excited for them! She can't wait to become Mrs. Kelly. I've talked with my parents and decided to continue my tour around the world on my own, leaving Mira here to plan her wedding and new life with her fiance. I'm a little nervous to be travelling all alone, but excited. I head out for Moscow, Russia in three days.

 

Sincerely,

Isobel

Dear Diary,

 

   This morning while grabbing coffee at a nice cafe here in Moscow right across from the Kremlin, I met a man named Hudson Philip Beardsley. He's an American, a recent graduate of William and Mary (where my big brother, James, went) with a master's degree in Physics. He let me pick his brain about all of my crazy questions about why things are the way they are, and he gave smart (or at least smart-sounding) scientific answers to them without laughing at me too much. That right there proves he's a nice guy. He's touring around the world before settling down just like I am, so we had a lot to talk about. We ended up talking for a few hours, and then he bought me lunch. He asked me on a whim if I want to take a train to St. Petersberg with him, and I said yes, crazy me. We leave tomorrow. 

 

Off to bed,

Isobel

Dear Diary,

 

    Hudson and I have been travelling around Russia. In St. Petersburg, we walked around the Hermitage for a day. We spent a few days seeing more cathedrals that I could possibly count. The architecture here is stunning. We spent a few days staying in a cabin at Lake Baikal, it was gorgeous, so serene. It made for some nice hiking, though I didn't have any of the proper attire or gear for it. We rode on the Trans-Siberian railway among many other things. It has been so much fun. 

    He (and by he, I mean Hudson) asked me to join him in his travels. I couldn't be more stoked. He's so handsome and sweet, not to mention incredibly intelligent. It's nice to have a companion.

   I talked to Mirabel on the phone yesterday, she and Harrison have set 10 December as their wedding date. They'll be having their wedding back in Australia where Harrison's family is, and Mira's parents are flying in. She wants me to fly in as well, I'm just hoping it will work out. I'm so happy for her!

    Hudson and I's next stop is Israel, we leave in 4 days!

 

Sincerely,

Isobel

My name is Emmeline Aurelia Crawford.
I am 22 years old and I have just graduated from Vassar College with a degree in English Literature.
I've always wanted to travel the world, and as a graduation gift my parents have surprised me with a year-long trip around the world!
They've even arranged for my best friend, Corabelle Madison Middleton, to come along with me.
 
The first country we visit is France.
We spend four weeks climbing up the Eiffel Tower, admiring the art in The Louvre, and tasting wine at vineyards along the coast.
One day, when we're eating at our favorite restaurant, Corabelle starts making eyes at an attractive waiter named Olivier Valentin Theroux.
When it's time to leave, Olivier's shift is over and he walks us back to our hotel. Corabelle and Olivier have really hit it off and they exchange numbers.
They begin dating, and Olivier tells us that he's planning on moving to Denmark soon.
Corabelle is really into this guy, so the two of us decide that Denmark might as well be our next stop too!
A few weeks later, the three of us travel to Denmark.
We are excited to see what experiences this new country will bring us!

Went on year long trip with BFF Mirabel Honor Graham payed for by parents.

The first country my friend and I visited was Brazil. We spent 4 weeks relaxing on the beach, hiking through the Amazon, and eating Crème de Papaya. One day when we were just eating at our favourite restaurant, Miri started making eyes at an attractive waiter named Rafael (Lucas) Castro. When we left the restaurant, Rafael's shift was over and he escorted us back to the hotel. Miri and Rafael seemed to really hit it off and they exchanged numbers. They started seeing each other and Rafael told us that he was planning on moving to Greece within the next month or so. Miri was really in to him, so we decided that the next place we would visit would be Greece too! Within the month, we traveled to Greece. 

 

When Miri, Rafael and I finally arrived in Greece, Rafael got a job as a manager at a restaurant and we began to explore our new home. The next three months consisted of visiting ancient temples, lounging on the beaches and indulging in baklava. Miri and Rafael began spending more and more time alone and I started to feel lonely and left out. After a few weeks of touring Greece mostly on my own, Miri announced that Rafael had proposed! I was surprised as they hadn't known each other for very long.. but Miri seemed excited, and ended up getting a job as a waitress at the same restaurant Rafael managed. After talking it over with them both (and my parents), I decided to travel on alone while the other two prepared for their wedding and their life together in Greece. I was nervous about embarking to a new country on my own,but I was excited to start exploring a new place! After spending three months in Greece, I decided to travel to New Zealand.

I arrived in New Zealand and immediately began sight-seeing. While visiting Lake Wanaka, I met another American named Carter (Julian) Sheppard. He was a recent Dartmouth graduate, having majored in psychology. He was also touring the world before getting a job and settling down back home. Carter and I hit it off and traveled throughout New Zealand together. After 2 months, he invited me to travel with him to Israel. I agreed as I was happy to have found a new travel companion!
