Hi, everyone.
I realized I've posted a couple of times seeking help, but never really introduced myself. Name's Aaron - I'm old (24), male, and in the middle of my first backpacking "adventure". I'm a recovering corporate sell-out, having worked for two years and saved up enough money to do some serious traveling. I'm on week seven at the moment and I'm going to keep going until I run out of cash, which hopefully won't be until November-ish. I'm in Barcelona at the moment, and I head to Hungary next week, and then I'm going to try and see most of eastern Europe - Budapest up through Tallin.
So, if anyone's in the area, I'd love to meet up with other travelers. Thanks for all the help you guys have already given me - even just reading through the forums has been a great education.
Aaron

Welcome to the boards! 
you'll have to keep us posted as to how your trip is going. it's sounds like you'd really have some stories seeing as to how long you've been out already. have fun and be safe! :D

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. And you're right - the more I travel, the less old I feel. Still, realizing that all the attractive women in the hostel are at least three years younger than me doesn't do good things for my ego....
Anyway, I'm off to Budapest on Tuesday - anyone going to be in that area and want to meet up?
