Binh and Luke's Italian escapade  

Just a few words

Hi guys, just thought i would create a webpage on my Italy trip so u guys can take a look if u want to since all my photoes are digital.

Italy is an amazing country to travel. I enjoyed my trip thouroughly, if not the scenery then the people i met, the food i tried or just the feelings of being there. The trip was inspiring in many ways, which i shall go into details in each page devoted to a destination.

I have met quite a few lone travelers in this trip and they told me wonderful things about traveling alone and i really wanna try to travel by myself one day, just to know what it is like to be able to do what i want, carefree, roam the world with no itinerary but my own wish. I really wanna try to be able to go to the train station and then look at the departure list and decide hah, i am going to Venice now. Also traveling alone enable u to mix with other travelers and makes many new and interesting friends of different cultures and nationalities.
