IT’S COOL TO BE A HISTORY BUFF
For those of us who travel on a sabbatical year from school, our main focus might be to go a little party crazy in Europe. For some, it can be the first taste of true independence, self-reliance, and the ability to make your own choices. It is also the first time for many to legally drink whilst under twenty-one years of age. While this is a main attraction of a European adventure, don’t forget you’re in countries with long traces of history all around you. Take my advice and do a little research about the historical sights of the city. Train trips are perfect opportunities to inform yourself. Go to a museum, see the gothic quarters, cathedrals and castles. Take pictures and bask in the glory that people hundreds of years ago stood in the same spot staring at the same building as you do now. Touch the walls, admire the art and realize that in that moment you have bridged the gap of time.
