There was a theme of a childhood relived to my short time in Slovakia! I slept for 3 days in Martin's childhood home where he grew up with his parents. I imagined Martin living there with his parents and wondered what life was like for them.... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=476222&go=kimhuynh Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=474760&go=kimhuynh PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS UNDER "MY PHOTOS." I AM NOT SURE WHY THEY WERE NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPLOADED ONTO THE BLOG AS BEFORE.What, you guys thought I was done blogging just because I'm back home in America now? I was reading through my blogs and realized how much detail I left out! It made me question, "Did anyone get a clear idea of what I was going through then?" There was a ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=474760&go=kimhuynh Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=444675&go=kimhuynh As soon as the plane landed in Atlanta, I felt a sense of familiarity and warmth in knowing that I had returned home. But in my heart were also mixed feelings. I immediately started to miss all my wonderful friends I'd made in Europe, and the surreal life of backpacking to 11 countries in less than 6 months seemed so far away. I have found that the only kind of people who can relate to my expe... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=444675&go=kimhuynh Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=420854&go=kimhuynh Just spent the last 3 weeks in Paris and Troyes. I was fortunate to have found 2 amazing couchsurfing hosts in both cities, Olivier and Mouss. It was an interesting time to be here because there were quite a few strikes of sorts! The metro, the country's trains, teachers, doctors, the post, and even the students. Luckily Mouss owns a scooter because that was our transportation as he took me si... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=420854&go=kimhuynh Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=407931&go=kimhuynh Since I have been traveling, this is the longest stay in one place! By the time I leave Torino this weekend, I will have been here one month! And what a much needed relaxing month it has been. Torino is in the northwest of Italy and historically was the first capital until Rome took over. It was also the host of the Winter Olympics last year. Among tourists, it is known for its beautiful arch... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=407931&go=kimhuynh Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=399121&go=kimhuynh Ciao and lots of love from Italy!  I spent 1 week in Milano, 4 days in Cinque Terre, and so far 1 week in Torino.  I had plans to visit Florence and Rome but I am not sure if the lack of money will allow me to go there.  I have enjoyed my time in Italy and I can always visit Florence and Rome in the future.  I prefer to focus on other places that I would not normally  visit.In Milan, I visited my ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=399121&go=kimhuynh Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=389893&go=kimhuynh After Slovakia, I went to Budapest for a week. My first couchsurfing host was a Hungarian girl named Krisztina and I really enjoyed our time together. When I arrived, I was beyond exhausted and my body physically ached all over. The backpack had been on my shoulders for SO many hours that day. But I had only enough time to shower and change because Krisztina had plans to go dancing that night!... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=389893&go=kimhuynh Thu, 20 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=389862&go=kimhuynh I made the spontaneous decision to meet my new friend Megan in Vienna, Austria. We had met each other on the ferry en route from Greece to Turkey, where we spent a day and night together. I followed her to her hostel since I had not booked anything! We did not spend much time getting to know each other...because we were very tired and because she left the next day...but it was enough to form a ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=389862&go=kimhuynh Thu, 20 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=380658&go=kimhuynh After a few complaints and inquiries from some of you, I decided to take time out to write another blog. But in my defense, I have just been too busy to spend time on the computer, which by the way is not always so easy to get to! After 5 long, lazy days being a couch potato with 2 other couchsurfers in Vienna, Austria, I made the impulsive decision to head to Croatia. I had heard from othe... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=380658&go=kimhuynh Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378546&go=kimhuynh WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING COUNTRY! I am having a great time here and it has been so hard to leave. I have been a week but was supposed to stay only about 4 days. Heading to Slovakia tomorrow night and then Budapest and Prague. It's been a magical time in Croatia and full of serendipities!... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378546&go=kimhuynh Sun, 26 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT
