So, I'm supposed to introduce myself, eh? Well, I discovered that, in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions, I'm a brain, and an athlete, and a basketcase, a princess, and a criminal.
In more detail, I'm a 25 year old female from Ontario who likes sushi and hot-tubbing, quoting 80's movies and looking for a short-time commitment. Oops, that was my personal ad.
Seriously though, I, like you, have been bitten by the travel bug and have recently stumbled across this great site. I'm in the middle of planning my next trip and hoping to sponge off all of your great advice and experiences and basically just shooting the s*#t while pretending to be hard at work.

auf Wiedersehen

Patriotism and Booze do not mix well when over seas...

Dio, don't feel bad, lots of non-canadians (although admittedly mainly norther mid-westers) have roots stuff, it's good, and has a cool name . I don't have any yet , but I'm working on it . As for the other one, that might give you away.
