This summer I am embarking on my first real adventure without my parents. Five friends and I are doing a post-high school backpack through Europe trip - except I am making it different. I am planning on bringing several cameras to document the entire trip. This will be a real-life coming-of-age story as six college freshman spend their first 3 weeks out of high school in a foreign land.     

Unfortunately, this trip is on the expensive side. All I am bringing with me is 4 pairs of clothes, 3 cameras and the desire for something batshit crazy to happen on camera. We are staying in hostels and taking trains to all of our different destinations, which include Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, Vienna, Prague and Berlin. We are putting all of our money towards doing the most exciting activities possible, whether it’s walking through the ancient catacombs in Paris or cliff-jumping in Lisbon. Any Europe contributions will help me out and I will be sure to send you the final movie and any photographs that deserve sharing.

Sincerely,

Major Oswald
