So, I've been lurking here for quite some time now and thought I'd finally say hello. Here goes:
My name is Neha (pronounced nay-ha). I've lived in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex the last 9 & 1/2 years so I guess that kinda sorta makes me a Texan but I refuse to believe it, haha. I was born in Connecticut so I still consider myself an East coast girl.
I don't remember how I stumbled across this website but I'm immensely grateful that I did! It's nice to know I'm not a freak for being such a travel addict since most everyone in my life thinks there's something wrong with me. I've seen most of the U.S. (46/50 states) and haven't seen much outside the U.S. (Canada, Mexico, England, Ireland, France, U.A.E. and India).
I'm headed to India on Feb. 1st with my mom for three weeks and I can't wait! I haven't been in 5 & 1/2 years so it'll be great to see all my family again (my parents are both originally from India and every single grandparent/aunt/uncle/cousin lives there). I haven't seen a lot of India outside of New Delhi so I'm researching little side trips that I could make.
Other than that, my main reason for posting is I'm planning a 2 & 1/2 month solo trip of Europe from April-June of this year. This is something I've wanted since I was 16 and I finally feel like this is my time to do it. I have the money saved up, have nothing holding me back (single, no kids, etc) and I'm 24 and feel like it's time to take a risk and see what happens. I recently moved back in with my parents and will be quitting my job that I'm not exactly fond of. I'm terrified and excited at the same time. I've gotten a lot of good information being on here and hopefully I can pick everyone's brains a little more.
So yea, sorry, I tend to get a bit wordy. Thanks for all the help everyone's been so far! Congrats if you managed to make it to the end!
Howdy folks :)
