Heather - European Discovery's profileHeather Gatchell
I am a 23 year old female living in Ontario, Canada.
More About Me
I really enjoy travelling although due to financial restraints I have done much less than I would have preferred. I am combining 5 years of "no travelling" spring breaks into one big shot graduation trip.
I will be in Europe for 40 days...unless I get too home sick and must come back. I am also in a longterm common law relationship. We have been together for six years. He couldn't come on the tour because he still has a couple of semesters to finish his degree. So...red light! Originally, I was going to be travelling the whole time with one of my good friends. Although, now she has a possible job offer so we had to change our longer tour to the shorter European Discovery.
After the tour I will have 24 days to explore all the wonders that Europe has to offer solo...or hopefully with new friends from the tour. I will also be in London early as I am flying in after 9pm on September 12. Our tour does not begin until the 15th and Amber (my companion) will be flying in then. I can't even go to the movies by myself so this will be an interesting experience. I do understand that it will help me to be more independent and it will be extremely empowering and rewarding. Yada Yada Yada...
Our tour will be very quick paced so I may want to do some overlapping during my free time. We do not spend nearly enough time in Amsterdam and Rome...I want to go all over Italy. Also, our tour ends just in time for us to get to Germany for Oktoberfest! I am on an extreme budget...not frugal but cheap! Only window shopping for me...I want to spend my money on exploring, eating and ensuring that I have a roof over my head for the nights. Very low maintenance. Places that are not included in the tour that I do want to see are Ireland and Scotland as I want to explore a bit of my heritage.
I like to have a good time and enjoy night life. We can sleep on the bus!
I would like to connect with people from my tour and other tours that end around September 27th!
