Default Hey

hey everyone, just making my first post.
I stumbled across the site, and since my plan is to travel the world, i felt compelled to join.
My name's Will, I'm a Freshman in college in California, originally from Chicago. After I finish school, i'll take the trip across the pond. Where I'll go i'm unsure, there's enough time to leave that open-ended.
So...I guess I'm getting an early start at the planning, right?
I'd love to hear stories, make acquaintances, anything.
Hope all is and will stay well.

Cool! Welcome! Starting school is great fun, I just finished and wish it could last longer. You should think about studying abroad in the meantime...

Welcome! Good luck with all of the planning, you have plenty of time. How long were you thinking of going? If it's less than 3 months, you can definitely go over your summer vacation. I really regret not studying abroad because you can see much of Europe on the weekends and long holidays, so that's another option. Trust me, once you start planning, 3 1/2 years will be a long time to wait!

I double that for studying abroad. I did it in London for a semester and had the best time of my life.
