No
I learned a lot and I would not be able to have this same kind of access in each place on my own in the same time but, at least for me, it's a one time thing. Would not do it for a whole year |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
