I originally joined last summer, when I thought I'd be travelling in October and November. My plans, unfortunately, fell through--school stuff, etcetera etcetera. Anyway, it all worked out--finally--and I'll be heading out on May 1. My first stop is the UK, where I'll be hiking 200 miles across northern England, followed by a few days in London--or where-ever else strikes my fancy. Then it'll be two weeks in Greece (northern mostly, maybe an island or two), a week in Italy, and back to Heathrow via Switzerland and France. Then I'm off to law school, probably at Northwestern in Chicago.

As for me, I'm 20 and a resident of Seattle, though I grew up in Alaska and Southern California and went to undergrad in NorCal. I'm very into early 20th century history and all things involving the outdoors--I'm currently loving cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

I'll also be doing some travelling on the East Coast before I head out, so let a poor West Coaster know if you've got any ideas on things to see, things to do, places to get a good Americano

Welcome. We have quite a few East Coasters here, including, what, 5, 6 in Seattle? So, I'm sure they'll be able to throw lots of advice at you. Glad to hear you were able to get things back in order! You're 20 and going to Law School? How did ya manage the undergrad??

Very cool! Living in Chicago right now and my brother's moving here to go to law school at either De Paul or preferably Northwestern, pending acceptance. It's a great city.
