Hi, my name is Claudia R. I’m 18 years old. My girlfriends and I had planned to travel to Europe after our high school graduation. We saved most of the money we made from our part-time jobs, and with a little help from our parents, last summer we finally took our dream trip! Armed with our backpacks we hit England, France, Italy and Spain. We didn’t want to just stick to the big cities but looked forward to exploring the countryside, too. We really wanted to get to know the family farms, county fairs, and quaint little old towns full of history. We climbed enchanted hills and crossed fields blanketed with a rainbow of flowers, visited castles… you name it. At night we pitched our tents, made a fire, ate fresh produce and had a blast talking about our adventures. The thing is though, I just wasn’t used to walking so much, carrying a heavy backpack and then sleeping on the hard ground. In the morning my body ached all over. Luckily, I had brought Aspirin® along, just in case. It relieved soreness and pain quickly and got me ready for the next adventure. With a little help from Aspirin®, this was truly an awesome trip my friends and I will remember forever!
