I know this comes up every now and then, and Im re-treading old ground. But I cant help it really.
I've been on here for ages and ages, sometimes more than others. Tony, thank you so much for dreaming this place up and making it happen. You've encouraged me so much to travel, to explore, to make wistful daydreams reality and catch hold of it with both hands without looking back. You and travelpunk.com really inspire me to put myself out there, to want more, to TRY. That's the most important thing.
There's so many wonderful people here, those I know very well, those not so well. I'm glad there's a place where those of us with weirdo, nomadic notions can get together and not feel so out of it. I'm glad we can swap ideas and tips, beg for advice, share our experiences with people who can understand, laugh, and learn from our mistakes. I never cease to be amazed at the knowledge and maturity represented here on the whole. When anyone I know starts to talk to me about a trip they're planning, I invariably point them here and they get answers for everything they need and go on and on about what a cool place this is. Well, duh. Tpunk is such an amazing resource, mainly because you're all just so damn awesome.
Mostly I'm eternally grateful for the friendships I've made, both with people I've actually met and those I havent met yet but undoubtedly will in the future. You're priceless really. I know I can come to travelpunk and get answers, help, or a shoulder to cry on. Thats more than I can say for a lot of my real life relationships.
Anyway I'm just glowy and really love y'all. I hope that I help out as much as Ive been helped. Thank you.
