Summer 2013 Travel Plans

Hello everyone, I have finally figured out my summer 2013 travel plans (all of which I will be recording in this blog).

It has been almost 2 years since I took a big trip (in the meantime I have been busy completing my MBA at The Rotman School of Management). Now that I am finishing my studies it is time for another big adventure before I start full time employment on August 6th!

My summer adventure is split into two parts: South America for 5 weeks and Europe for 5 weeks, with a 2 week stop in Toronto for my graduation ceremony.

Part 1 - South America: I will be leaving Toronto on May 1st and traveling to South America. I will travel through Brazil, Argentina and Peru for 1 month. I start in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and end in Lima, Peru (see below for map of locations).

On May 30th I will travel to Veracruz, Mexico from from Lima, Peru for 1 week to visit family, before returning to Toronto for 2 weeks for my graduation ceremony.

Part 2 – Europe: On June 22nd I will leave Toronto for Europe. I will start in Hungary with my friend Paige, and then together we’ll head over to Croatia for 1.5 weeks where we will be living on a boat and island hopping through the Croatian islands (see below for map of locations).

From there I will head over to Paris for a few days, and then to London on July 11th to tour through England, Scotland and Ireland for 2.5 weeks (see below for map of locations I will be visiting).

Once I’m done my tour I will spend about 1 week in London before I return to Toronto on August 1st.

I am really excited for my adventure, as it will probably be the last time I will have 3 consecutive months available to travel (once full time work starts I will only have 2-3 weeks a year of vacation time). I hope you all enjoy reading about my travel adventures. Feel free to leave comments on my posts, or ask questions about the places I’ve visited.
