Throwback Thursday: BosGuy in Pisa

This past weekend I stumbled upon this photo of me (age 22), while Sergio and I were doing some housecleaning. I had all but forgotten this photo of me posing by the Leaning Tower of Pisa, holding my tattered copy of Let’s Go Europe, but once I got over the shock of the difference in my hairline, it made me smile.

Backpacking through Europe after college was only possible because of the generous gift my parents gave me and it changed my life. While I had learned a lot at college, this trip taught me more about myself and others than I learned in college and it awoke in me a desire to travel and see the world. I am still afflicted some 25 years later and have been fortunate to be able to visit twenty countries. I’m not nearly done seeing the world and this photo serves as a reminder that it is time to think about booking another trip abroad.
