Herro ladies and gents, my name is Ryan and im 20 years of age. Currently living in Florida doing what I do best...flying. Im here to meet fellow travelers and to learn more about backpacking. Im a newbie to BK'ing, but have done it before through France which didnt end well. Im trying to put together a long haul trip through Europe sometime in 2009. So im trying to find some wanting to go with me. Anyway, Im looking forward to learning from ya'll.

I still wouldnt mind joining again one day.

Sounds so prestigious, covert, and James Bond-ish, if you will. Anyways, I know you're looking for someone to go with you, but in the event that you find no one, don't let it stop you.
There are plenty of people that are traveling, have traveled, and will travel sole this year alone.
Embrace the idea...
