My Backpacking Chronicles

1st STOP:Athens, Greece31 Days

After selling everything I owned online, I prepared to set off on a trip around the world with no end date in sight. I began by purchasing a one-way ticket to Greece. I really had no idea what to expect from traveling abroad alone. All I knew in the early stages was that traveling solo was something I always wanted to try and there would never be a better time to do it than right now.

Over time, I’ve realized that my journey would be full of many mishaps & misadventures. Shown below, I’ve shared pins from my first backpacking journey in chronological order.
