I wasn‘t able to post my #backpackEurope adventures for two weeks, because I was occupied with traveling, exploring cities, meeting new people... you know, usual stuff on the trip 😎, but I did manage to read six books and I‘m ready for Bulgaria.

JenP So bc you waited to post all your books, Ilove have to count them for this week. Each week traveler delays are based on randomizer picks. However, each person is entered into the lottery based on how many books they read per week - so odds go up for being delayed the more books you post in a given week. So the books posted today (even though you read them before today, will all count for next week‘s randomizer delay lottery. Make sense? 6y

Simona @JenP Absolutely, I‘m perfectly aware of the rules 😘 6y

JenP @Simona great, just didn‘t want you surprised if I enter your name a lot next draw. Although you could be lucky. 6y

#backpackeurope @JenP @bookwormpropaganda
Travelling from Belgium to France, reading a book set at the Mont St. Michel
@JenP can I get approval for the book. See https://www.mappit.net/bookmap/places/1807/mont-saint-michel-lower-normandy-fr/, but also in descriptions about book.

mabell I chose the same book for France! It sounds fun 😁 6y

Dulcinella @mabell It does 😃 6y

KellyHunsakerReads What did you read for Belgium and was it good? 6y

Dulcinella @Hunsakermountain didn‘t read for Belgium yet, it is my home country. Maybe the tagged book. It is rather recent. If you like historical fiction, I can recommend it.

War and Turpentine: A novel

KellyHunsakerReads Thanks I might read that one then! 6y

Excited to start my #backpackeurope tour tomorrow!!
I am starting in Norway, and I am planning on doing a mini Scandinavian tour, first stop Sweden! Next up Denmark, and after that I'll guess I'll see where the sun takes me☀️Lots of room for spontanious trips to unknown destinations. It would be fun to visit a country I haven't actually been in though 😂Hoping for lovely food and drinks, nice hikes, outdoor concerts and lots of ice cream 🍹🍧🍱

JenP, BookwormM

HannaPolkadots Enjoy lots!😀 I'm starting my tour of Norway tomorrow 🌞 6y

hilded Tusen takk @HannaPolkadots! 😊Where are you going? I did a coustal trip from Bergen to Hammerfest last year, it was really great! Norgesferie er undervurdert ☀️ (edited) 6y

Kristelh I will start in the UK and have a mini tour there for awhile. 6y

VeganCleopatra Do you not have to start in the UK, France or the Netherlands due to living in Europe (I'm guessing)? 6y

hilded @VeganCleopatra I thought so first, but then got a tips from @JenP that I could follow this route when I needed to reach Denmark in July (for another challenge). So I'm guessing you're free to start in your home country when living in Europe :) Happy travels! ✈️ (edited) 6y

hilded UK is great, enjoy! :) @Kristelh 6y

JenP @VeganCleopatra yes, if you live in Europe, you may start in your home country 6y
