Hey,

I'm Vivian, 22 from Australia.

Past adventures have been to: Canada, United States, New Zealand, Austria, England, New Caledonia and around most of Australia.

Future adventures to: India, Egypt, France, Switzerland, Spain and more of the South Pacific.

Finished my degree last year and after my graduation ceremony I'm hitting the road, solo styles. The future looks very interesting..

Cheers!

Talking

I'm thinking of getting a round the world ticket going australia-india-egypt-europe/UK.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this site, great advice, planning solo travels for the first time is definitly nervewracking, and I keep changing my mind every day or so about where I'm going. But at the end of the day, I can't wait :D

Welcome to the boards! Solo traveling definitely has its benefits and can be an awesome experience. Let us know if you have any questions as you plan your trip. Spain and Switzerland are amazing, so definitely check those out.

Welcome to the boards.

Always good to have an extra Aussie around.
