This board get's a lot of lurkers. That's right, I'm talking to you.
If you are planning a trip abroad and want to have the time of your life, you need to work on your interaction skills.
In my experience, a trip goes from ordinary to extraordinary because of the people that you meet on your travels.
However, in order to meet these people, you must interact with them. That means that sometimes, it's up to you to break the ice. You must be the one to say hello first, to the person sitting next to you at the bar/pub, park, party, museum... whatever.
You've been lurking here for a while counting down the days before you embark on that backpacking trip of a lifetime. Reading these posts, learning, preparing, laughing, dreaming...
