When I graduated last year, I backpacked for 5 months (3 months in Europe and 2 in S.E. Asia). Just an all around life changing experience, and as I sit in a desk each day doing the 8-5, I realize how special it really was. Met some unreal people and had some great times. The thing about travelling is that you sometimes have the highest of highs and then the lowest of lows (i.e, sleeping in a parking garage in Mannheim after I watched Canada lose to Switzerland in the World Championships because we couldn't find a hostel that had room, or getting robbed in a Bangkok side street), but the stories afterwards are amazing.

I definately enjoyed my experience in Europe more than Asia (Vietnam, Laos, Thailand). My next trip will probably be Australia, sounds like a blast!
