Hey Everyone, I'm a Newbie
My boyfriend signed up here after we started talking about the possibility of back-packing around europe, and after a couple of posts I thought it best I introuce myself too.
I've recently left College, basically because it was boring and pants . I'm now working at a clothes store in town as a sales assistant, although I haven't actually started yet.
I can't wait to start this back-packing thing , but I am the sensible one out of me and my boyfriend, so I'm the one thinking about what is best to pack.
ie. Clothes, Food , Money, Booze and of course First Aid .
Would love to hear from everyone with your suggestions and exeriences
Bye for now

Heeeeellllllllllllooooooooo! and welcome to TPunk!
You're "want to get away"s" girlfriend aren't you? if im right, i should be the TPunk detective
I have to be planning something at all times. so don't worry if you 're "sensible". Take some time to look up places to stay, and things to do. whether you stay there or not, or if you do those things or not, atleast you felt (as a sensible person might) a bit prepard, maybe even safer, and less tense cause you had a fall back plan.
But then again you might want the adventure or not knowing a thing.

Well Done!! You are definatly TPunk's 1st Class Detective; I AM "want to get away's" girlfriend
Thanks for the advise, I'm sure I'll do a bit of planning in some areas and not in others then it means I'm satified with being careful, and "WTGA" is happy having an adventure.
BTW, I'm lovin the name Teri... (It's a name for Highly Clever and Cooly Sophisticated People)

So does that make me 2nd class, cuz I was going to guess that, but she apparently wakes up earlier than me.
Welcome to the boards. First time - just start browsing through forums. There is a wealth of information here, you just need to find it! Start to put together an itinerary (choose places you want to see, research, etc) and through the info here, you'll be able to start putting together your trip.
Glad to see you on here!

Hey welcome to TravelPUNK.com its good to have you in the family
Clothes money and small first aid is all you need.
Food and booze you can use your money to buy unless your camping in the wilderness, plus there heavy

Hey and welcome
Who knows - maybe the roles will be switched on your trip and you get to be the non-sensible one?
