The travel bug is biting again! But I can't decide where to go... Help me out :)
So the last time I have traveled was when I went to Guatemala last year and it is high time I leave the country once again! I have two options that I have been thinking about and not a lot of time to decide if I want to keep ticket prices low. My two choices are London, England (among other places in Europe that are only a train ride away) and Nicaragua in Central America. I know, about as polar opposite as my choices could get. Either place I choose I will stay for about a two week time period. Now for the pros and cons:
Choice 1: Europe specifically London, England and Brussels, Belgium and possibly any surrounding places that seem like a good idea once I get there
The biggest draw to this choice is that I will get to visit with my friends Warren and Dave. You might remember them from my great times in Australia two years ago. I just adore these boys! They are fun, loving, welcoming and amazing tour guides!! They have recently moved to London from Australia and have established themselves just in time for me to crash their party ;)
Another draw...it's Europe!!! I have traveled to Africa, Australia, Central America, Asia and Mexico. I don't see why it wouldn't be time to pop my Europe cherry. Downside there is a lot of Europe to see and I only have two weeks and a bit of a tight budget. However, my mantra for this trip will be live life spend the money now, make it back later!
Lastly, I usually spend my trips climbing volcanos, seeing ruins and diving. It might be fun to see a different kind of experience and they speak ENGLISH! Although this means I won't be practicing my Spanish, I will be able to communicate without too much deep thought :)
Choice 2: Nicaragua and/or possibly another Central American country
Pros: cheap, cheap, cheap! I will be able to do all of my crazy adventures without breaking the bank too much. Definitely the more financially responsible choice but...who needs to be financially responsible all the time :) Another plus is that I will be able to scuba dive, something I have been missing dearly and hike some awesome active volcanos. It is also guaranteed to be an amazing cultural experience.
Something that could be considered good and bad; I will be traveling alone. I have done this many times before and it is both exciting and scary. Amazing, yet at times lonely. I also meet lots of great people and have no choice but to come out go my shell.
As you can see both of my options couldn't be more opposite and are both guaranteed to be amazing experiences! This is wheee you come in: HELP ME :)
