If you haven't checked out Ira's "A Young Vagabond" yet, you should.
Ira, a friend of mine from college, is on an 8 month trip around Europe. He started in Greece, worked his way through most of Europe and some of Turkey, and is currently in Marrakesh, Morroco. He's been writing updates and travelogues from the road, as well as posting photos. His latest ones were of him playing with a cobra. Some of his travelogues have also been published on Subsystence.net.
