The beginning

Hello everyone!
Let me start by explaining the origin of this blog...
First of all let me say I will write it in English because I think it is important people from everywhere can read it and hopefully see some of their doubts answered here.
It all started when me and a friend of mine decided to go on Erasmus. For those who do not know what it is, it's an exchange program that exists in Europe, where university students can go to most European countries to study for a period of 3, 6 or 9 months, according to their university and course.
As Portuguese students from Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária (FMV), Universidade Técnica de Lisboa (UTL), we could only go in our 4th year of studies, for a period of 9 months, to either Spain, Italy or Hungary.

After a lot of thinking and researching on several websites, as well as asking a lot of different opinions from some friends and family, we decided to go to Italy! I had never been there and thought it could be a good opportunity to finally get to know this amazing country. Also, I thought the language wouldn't be that different from Portuguese, since we are all Latin countries from South Europe.
Anyway, the next step was to decide how to get there. I've always wanted to do some kind of road trip across Europe and figured this could be the perfect time to do it. However I didn't want to go by myself in such a long drive and so Inês (the friend who came with me in Erasmus) decided to come with me.
So as you can imagine, this will be a place where we will write our adventures driving across Europe an living in a totally different lovely country called Italy!! :)
