On Feb 2, I will land in Indianapolis Indiana, where Corey and I will meet and our trip will begin. We plan on spending some time at our Alma Mater, Indiana University, and the remainder of the time in the U.S. in the northwestern Indiana/ Chicago area. On Feb 10th, we embark for Munich, Germany.
For three months starting Feb 10, Corey and I will be backpacking all throughout Europe. We discovered a great deal in transportation (which we will also occasionally use as night's lodging in between countries) and that is the Eurail pass. I am bringing along, courtesy of my brother Ben, a Flip camera. Prepare yourself to become envious of our trip not simply from descriptions in writing from our Blog, but with stunning 720p full color (and color-commentary) from our Vlog. (See what I did there with the b and the v? Cool, huh.)
As mid-May rolls around, Corey and I will part ways, well versed in the language of European Rail travel. I will proceed further in my travels to Tel Aviv where I will be spending the next three months living/working/breathing on a Kibbutz. As of now, I do not know which, and will not know which Kibbutz will become my home. This news will become known to me probably on the ride there. And probably means either in the car ride there or at the office in Tel Aviv right before the car ride there. I really have no preference of which Kibbutz I will stay.
You may be wondering, "say Eli, can I come too?" The answer is, "Yes. But we're leaving very soon. Pack quickly." The next question may be, "How do you plan on packing for SIX WHOLE MONTHS?" Another good question. As mentioned earlier, Corey and I are backpacking, but given that I will spend equal time in the cold winter of the northern hemisphere as I will in the dry, arid and hot summer in the land of Israel (Eretz Israel) I have to plan every piece of clothing that I will bring. A lot of time and thought went into the planning of what to bring and only time will tell whether it will be enough (or too much).
Countdown? 6 days...
Eli
