My journey through France, Spain and Italy. I backpacked for about a month and visited 16 cities. I stayed in Youth Hostels, and when I couldn't find a hostel I stayed in low budget hotels, with the exception in Cinque Terre where I was lucky enough to stay an in apartment. The trip was the best thing I have ever done and have 14 rolls of film and a sketchbook to always remind me of my adventure.
