March the 12th, 2004. That's the date indeed!

Today I booked my one-way ticket to my first destination: Istanbul. I'll be flying there the 12th of March. I found an fairly good priced ticket with Air France, which costed me 170 euros, student card holder discount included.

I know in the first entry of this travel blog I said I was going to go for the OneWorld RTW package, but I've finally decided to buy as I go. I will probably spend one or two thousand euros more on the long run, but it simply feels the right choice. At the end of the day, I'm not taking this trip as a tourist with a planned out schedule, but rather open-minded willing to overtake whatever experience the journey brings in.

See you in Istambul next week!
