Hi everyone. I've been away for a while, and had a lot of time to get my sci-fi romance adventure novel going full steam ahead. I'm at a point in the story where my main character is backpacking her way across Europe on a shoestring, while trying to elude a number of suspicious characters. I spent some time quasi-backpacking overseas a few decades ago, but not along the route my character is taking, which includes England, France, Switzerland and Italy. If anyone has any direct personal experience with these places and is willing to share those experiences in this thread (or by FReepmail), I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks,
SR
Rosebud...
The narrow country lanes with high hedgerows are most common in the southwest. Devonshire and Cornwall. Good luck with the book, sounds interesting and fun!
If “she” ever makes it to Portugal, I can help.
P.S. You’ve been missed.
BB, good to hear from you again. :)
No. offhand, I can’t think of any reason she need to go through Portugal. The story converges to the grand finale in modern Rome. From a plot point of view, the only other place she really needs to get to is Lucerne. The rest of the trek has more to do with the character arc.
And when this big adventure is ready for an attempt at publication, I should have a bit more time for other things. Right now, it is pretty all-consuming.
And I’ve missed you guys too. More than you know.
Peace,
SR
