Travel Possibilities?

So, I've recently become aware of a possible opportunity to spend 6 weeks in Europe studying abroad. If any of you know me, you know that I've yet to travel to Europe! I would looove to take advantage of this, especially because one of my biggest regrets in undergrad was not pursuing a trip abroad. So maybe this is my chance?! Any suggestions on where to go/ gear to buy/ the best places to sketch? Post your comments!

Also, in honor of travel, I'd like to share this awesome video (see post above and here: http://designartadventure.blogspot.com/2010/10/travel.html)
