Today marks five weeks since I arrived in Frankfurt, Germany, to begin my Odyssey. The map above shows the route I have taken thus far in red.
My first stop was Goettingen, Germany, to visit the town where I studied as an exchange student several years ago.
Next I went north to visit friends in the Swedish cities of Lund and Gothenburg and, from there, took a day trip to Copenhagen, Denmark.
After Scandinavia, I headed to southwestern Germany and then to the Loire River Valley in France.
After France, I spent a week in the seaside town of San Sebastian, Spain (in the Basque Country) and then several days in Spain's capital, Madrid.
Next was a quick stop in Cordoba before heading to another Andalucian city, Granada.
Next Steps
Today I head to Seville, Spain, my third and final city in southern Spain. My final stop in Spain will be Barcelona. From there, I plan to visit Nice and the French Riveria and then head to Venice and do some traveling around northern Italy. At that point, depending on time, I may head further down into Italy or go back in the direction of Frankfurt, from where I will depart on November 19th.
This trip has been an amazing experience so far! I have seen and done some amazing things and have met some fabulous people along the way. It truly has been an eye-opening time for me, and I feel I am learning a lot about myself and life along the way. I want to thank my friends and family for their encouragement and prayers. Keep checking in on my blog and post a comment!

Hey Andrea! Great idea posting the map. I have a much better feel for what you've seen now!
I'm excited that you're headed to southern France. Nice is very close to where I lived when I was a kid. If you have time, take the train towards Monaco. There is a great hostel in a villa at Cap D'Ail that is just down the coast from Monaco, it is a beautiful walk.
You're going to love the south of france... the weather there is usually gorgeous!
Enjoy Italy too! Can't wait to see pictures.

Hey Andrea! I am going to pressure you to visit Italy! Italy! Italy!! :-) Glad you're having such a great time - keep posting your thoughts and your pics.
