Well as this is going to my 5001th post I thought I would reminisce over my time here at travelpunk and remember who I was when I joined and how so many of you have helped me become something more. About how so many of you are like family to me and I hold several of you dearer than any of my local friends. Travelpunk is more than a website to many of us, it's a rare community of like-minded individuals seeking to better themselves and the world through the dispelling of ignorance by global travel. It's a support network, a living encyclopedia and a family.
After traveling around the country and the western hemisphere, having been to several meetups, I am still amazed by the seemingly instant connection that I share with each and every one of you when we meet face to face. It is remarkable. As travelpunk grows there will continue to be expansion groans and we will continue to grow as a community to accommodate these needs.
Travelpunk, that's for being here. Here's to another 5000.

HELLO TPUNKS!
I just found this site yesterday and as of right now i think it is the single greatest travel forum i have ever seen! Major kudos...
Anyway I am a 20 year old american male leaving for my first backpacking trip on sept 6 to BRAZIL! I will be there till christmas and I have no idea what I am doing. I am mostly sick of working in america and sick of all the crap with elections and whatnot.
Well If you have any ideas on where to go or what to do or if you are going to be in brazil during my stay let me know... I am also a nOOb at this whole backpacking experience so some advice is always appreciated!
