Hey from Canada!
Hey there, I'm Andrew. 16 years old, lives in Canada (on the west coast). I found out about this place through google and so far I'm finding it pretty cool! I am planning a trip to Europe in the summer of 2014 (I would go after I grad in 2013, but my birthday is October so I'll still be 17, and I'll be saving for university). As for the trip, I'm hoping to head to wither Germany/Czech Republic or the UK/Ireland.
Catch ya on the flip side,
Andrew

hey dude, love the name... FTW! lol
that's plenty of time between now and your trip but I salute your excitement! You're first trip is gonna be awesome.
But why wait for then to travel? You can travel within your own city, wander in areas you haven't - take that travel mentality where ever you are

Welcome to tpunks!
I will be traveling to the czech republic in a couple of months. Of course I will report, but I already feel like it will be no more difficult then Austria, Germany or Italy just cheaper and with fewer tourists.

My two cents, skip UK/Ireland and head to central Europe! Anything east of Germany will be a hell of a lot cheaper! UK/Ireland culture is quite similar to that of North America. You can do Czech, Poland, and say Hungry, for the budget you would need for just UK! Plus the food in the UK is quite shit. A wider variety of taste and smells to be had in the countries I've mentioned!( I love food)Also I'll be moving to Czech in a few months so there is always a chance of a meet up
