MANILA, Philippines - It’s always been in my bucket list to lose myself in the streets of Europe, be it in the mosh pit of an international music festival in Corsica or join the pilgrimage to the island Mecca of dance: Ibiza.
Over a few bottles of Stella Artois at The Distillery, me and a good friend, musician cum photographer cum artista, Rico Blanco found out we both shared this master plan and wanted to take a month off to travel Europe and get re-inspired. Two beers later, it was decided and we were going to volt-in, pack our bags and invade Europe one country, one city, one party and one festival at a time. Hence, the tales of the Adventeuros Eurotrip 2011 was born!
Planning everything on the fly and working on a budget, the final itinerary was finally pieced together:
Paris, France --> Corsica, France --> Oslo, Norway --> Amsterdam, Netherlands --> Barcelona, Spain --> Benicassim, Spain --> Valencia, Spain --> Ibiza, Spain
Booking planes, trains, and busses, little did we know that we were going to be in for the ride of our lives.
