The Milano Porta

Garibaldi railway

station has  many

exits, and I was

lost for awhile.

I had to find

the exit by

Piazza 4 Novembre

the train finally arrived in Milan!

APRIL 27, 2015

Afraid of getting left behind again, I was already in Lille Flandres!

(again, train leaves at 11:41AM)

I was in Paris Nord!

Waiting for my train to Milan

I was in – what is my

longest train trip yet!

WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE, I WAS SO AFRAID...

I’m actually embarked on the unplanned part of my Italy trip

I can’t send text messages or make calls outside France

I have little communication with the tour group

I only have a few euros left because

I spent most of it

for the train

ticket to Milan

Later on,

I took a nap

When I woke up, I saw the alps outside!

The view was captivating!

One of the security there helped me find the Piazza 4 Novembre exit, where my hostel was close to.

but never underestimate the kindness of humanity.

In my hostel, I got great tips from my roommates on how to survive in Italy alone.

They made me feel comfortable and at ease about being alone in a foreign place.
