Mooseadventures Abroad!

September, 2018 Plan!
We went on a Bucket List Quest to visit as many European (and beyond) countries as possible, starting in September, 2018 and return before May, 2019. This was a "low-budget", off-season, plan as we go, backpacking venture, visiting much of Europe & Eastern Europe, as well as bits of Africa and the Middle East. We made a Drachenwald event or two. We visited Castles, Ruins, Museums, Mountains, Caves, Caverns, and people, and we post Video, 360 video, photos and info on our blogs and Facebook pages. First stop was Iceland, then Northern Ireland/U.K. Plans, such as they are, were 2-3 days to a week in advance at best!
