  1. I can see that your trip to Spain is filled with entertainment. It is always great to travel and open our eyes to different culture and lifestyle of other races. I always encounter many other foreigners and having great conversation with them. It is the best time of my life to exchange views with them.

    It is nice knowing that you are having such nice opportunity to travel and visiting places. Hope to see some nice snapshots of you and those places you are visiting.

    Take care and enjoy while you are there!

  2. Greetings from Finland.

    Wow. It’s awesome to hear that you’re coming to Europe!
    I think Oct is a pretty good month to see Europe since its right after summer holidays; less crowd, much cooler, probably some things are cheaper too.
    And Spain is one of the places I want to go, but I have yet to find a travel companion for that.
    My autumn break last from 13-19 Oct. My friend and I are going to Italy (Rome, Venice) and Germany (Bremen) from 6-15 Oct.
    Oh, if you like nature…consider visiting Finland, summer and autumn are the most beautiful season here 😛

    Enjoy your trip!
