This site totally rocks!!!! I just got back from Europe,  which i had to be practically dragged away from!!! I love it there.. but anyways checking out this website totally made me feel so much better.. and now i am just waiting to leave again for my next adventure!!! i think that this is really cool that all you guys here are so close and friendly!!! I love it!!!  so rock on!!! To give you guys some inside info on who and what i am . I am from chicago, i am suppose to be studying fashion design, but for the past 2 years its been really hard for me to stay in one place( i am sure you guys understand) so yeah i am turning the big 21!! in like 16 days so cheers to that
 i am just an adventure seeking, curious traveler kinda gal.. so hopefully you guys will be hearing from me soon again.. and this place rocks!!!!

AWWW thanks you guys!!! I am really happy to see that my obession with traveling is shared with many others. ANd to be very honset with you guys , this website has helped out alot since i have been back, cause i hate feeling sad that i am home, but i just feel so much more alive travleing and meeting others. Like how can you compare life at home, when you have seen like greek and roman ruins 2000 years old??? YOU KNOW!!! Sometimes i cant understand how people can just live such mundane lives when there is a whole world out there just waiting to be explored!!! and it SUCH a great feeling that others can understand what i am going through!!  Thank you travelpunk for getting this whole thing started, YOU ROCK!!!! If i could i would give you a big hug and kiss  !!! I really truly admire this whole thing and i think that everyone on this website has alot to offer and learn from.

I'm also from chicago. it's nice to have another chicago T-punker. you, me and tecia will all have to go out for a drink when she gets back from europe.
have you always lived in chicago? i find it hard to find people that were born and raised here that want to ever leave. this place just seems to suck people in. and you definetly don't sound like that. just curious.
oh yea....Welcome to the family!

In europe i was in london, brussels and then to barcelona, and all along the costa brava in spain!!! GREAT TiMES My favorite was spain, i ended up extending my trip like 2 weeks longer just to hang out. I arrived in Barcelona for their celebration of San Juan, and these people party like crazy i want to say that for like a week straight all you would hear was fireworks and at the end of that week, going to the beach and just watching the city glow with fireworks was pretty amazing. .. but yeah, i plan on going back in Nov to Austria and Italy and hopefully go skiing, and most likely end up staying longer to check out other countries. Who knows what will happen?? Got any suggestions?????
CHICAGO LOVE !!!! I love that you and tecia are from chicago dorian!!! Definitly need to hook up!!! Yeah i have lived here my whole life. Its a great place, and sometimes hard to leave, but I survive  !! how long have you been here
