New Blog

Welcome to the first installment of the Voracious Grazer! I've been meaning - like most of you out there I'd guess - to start a blog for a long time now. I'm traditionally a procrastinator and would have left this until much later on in my life (probably never) if I gave myself half a chance. There are hundreds of reasons why I should not start a blog today: The name doesn't sound quite right, It will take too much of my time, etc.

BUT....I'm going to do it anyway. I might not tell anyone about it, or I may never make a second post, but I've started it and surely that is the hardest part? Right?

The purpose of this blog is primarily to share my thoughts, experiences and travels with whoever wants to listen (or no one as is more likely). I'm starting it on the eve of my first trip to Europe and one that I hope will be full of great experiences and meals to remember.

The plan is still a little sketchy, but that's the way I like to travel, no planning and just let things happen. I'll be starting off in Serbia, which is where my family comes from and seeing where my parents grew up. From there I would like to head over to Italy, then through France, Spain and Portugal. Now while I don't plan to lock myself in too rigidly to specific destinations and timelines, if anyone out there has some feedback or a list of places not to miss, please post a comment and let me know.

I don't want this first post to stretch on too long, and I'm not sure what internet access will be like in Serbia, but I'll try to post something in the first few days of my arrival.
