I am leaving tomorrow to embark upon the trip which will undoubtedly define my twenties: Backpacking through Europe. I am going to be gone for nine delicious weeks and will probably be unable to blog much in that time. The downfall to what will be an amazing journey is the inability to easily share it with you. So, I compiled a mixtape to help you all enjoy your summer and maybe, just maybe, remind you a little bit of me in the process. Memories will be made, stories will be recorded, I will be back mid-August to regale you with my adventures and all the wise lessons I will have learned. Er, or something like that. Have a lovely summer, all. I’ll miss you.
