Meet the Cast

“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” – Mark Twain

Before I get too far ahead of myself, I think it's worthwhile to say a little bit about myself and some of the people who will be accompanying me on parts of my travels.

                                    Tim Miller (yours truly)
I'm presently a student at the University of Pennsylvania studying mechanical engineering.  I'm especially interested in product design and transportation technology, and I especially enjoy tinkering and music, basketball, badminton, and squash.

I graduated from Lynnfield High School (Class of 2010) in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, and have two sisters and a brother.  In 2009-2010 I lived in Luebeck, Germany with a host family.  I was with AFS, a foreign exchange organization, and was a recipient of the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange scholarship, which paid for most of my year.  I love traveling and am glad to be back in Europe.



                                                      Bob

Bob, my father, is an avid and experienced traveler who will be accompanying me from July 5-July 20, in Luebeck, Bremen, Prague, Vienna, and potentially Budapest.  Earlier this year Bob had the opportunity to travel with his daughter (my sister) Nelia through Bonn, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Glasgow.  Bob enjoys tennis, woodworking, and craft beers, and he is a prolific photographer who will probably be the source of many of the photos in this blog.


                                                 Marlies

Marlies will be accompanying my father and me from July 12 on, showing us the finer parts of Vienna and Eisenstadt and exploring Salzburg with me.  An Austrian herself, Marlies lived with my family this year, also through AFS, and I'm happy to call her my girlfriend.  She enjoys vegetarian food and lacrosse and always has a smile and a positive attitude, and will miss Boston and her friends and host family very much.  For you german-speakers, her blog can be found here.



Of course, there are lots of other characters who are sure to pop up- the Baake's, my old host family, my friends in Luebeck, the Renkens in Bremen, the Koch family- but we'll get to them in due time.  Have a nice Wednesday!
