Hi everyone!

I don't know why it's taken me so long to join, but I finally have. I'm a 21/f from Connecticut originally, but I go to school @ Clemson University in South Carolina. I'm graduating this May, and taking about five weeks to travel throughout Europe. My roomate was planning on coming along, but she backed out at the last minute. I'm really looking forward to an awesome experience, I've been to Ireland and Northern Ireland, but that's it as far as my international experiences go. Feel free to email or instant message me at smil54@aol.com, I'd love to hear from you all, especially if there are people with similar plans this summer! Thanks!

Welcome, but consider your friend's backing-out a typical godsend. Trust me, you will have MUCH MORE FUN solo! B) SO WELCOME!

Thanks for such a warm welcome!!! As much as I would love to travel with my friend, I do see her backing out as a good thing. She didn't seem too excited about the trip, and I was doing all the planning and researching. Five weeks backpacking through Europe is definetly not the kind of trip you want to force on someone anyway! I'm sure I will meet tons of great people along the way, so I'm not too worried about that. Once again, thanks for the welcome!
