I must explain the purpose of this blog for newcomers and for those who had followed my posts previously. My fiancee and I are leaving shortly for London where we will separate and forge our own paths across England and Europe to re-evaluate our relationship. Postponements in this plan had caused me to post excerpts from my travel journals of previous trips to satisfy followers of my blog. I have since combined all those blog posts into an ebook which I have for sell on Smashwords.com. My hope is that you continue to follow my blog posts which will soon contain the "Hostel Environment" experiment that my fiancee and I agreed on implementing. My ebook is a rather enjoyable read and is very informative on solo travel via youth hostels. I welcome any comments and tips you may have accumalated in your travels. Thank you and safe travels.
