"Solo 7,000+ km trip around Europe in 2005 on a Vespa PX200. Everyone else my age, ie mid 20's, seems to do Europe via the rail systems or specific touring bus networks. The same old crowd seemingly shipping themselves from major city hostel to hostel, but what appealed to me was what was between these destinations, and this is where the adventures really were."
