Fresh TPer here, wanted to say hola!
Hey guys!
You seem to have some awesome (and addicting) forums here, especially for an aspiring traveler like myself.
I grew up in Alaska, now living in Oregon, proceeding through year 5 of college, soon to be year 6. Whatever, I don't mind, as long as I get some breaks in between.
Last winter I took off school and spent 3 months volunteering in Costa Rica. I've spent some time in South America too. Hoping to conquer the world, as soon as my bank account will let me.
Talk to yall soon!
Julia

Absolutely - I'm thinking of revisiting my home for a year in Argentina, along with hitting up Brazil and Chile. SE Asia, Indonesia and that corner of the world fascinates me. I'm also considering the JET program in Japan after I graduate.
