Hey!
So I am probably one of the longest term creepers of this board... I think I've been reading this site since 2004 and this is my first post! My name is Chelsea and I am leaving to go backpacking through South America on Monday. I am super excited but starting to get so nervous. I am going for 3.5 months on my own. I've spent a summer doing a work placement in Cuba but I have never done anything completely independently. I land in BA on Tuesday morning- I've booked my first hostel (Hostel Suites Florida) for a few nights and then I will go from there. I would love to meet up with other travellers in SA... I am flying out from Venezuela towards the end of April and have a pretty open itinerary.
Haha, If anyone has any words of wisdom or reassuring messages (aka don't go crazy, it'll be fun), I would love to hear them.
These boards have been so helpful... thanks for all the advice and tips!
T- 2 days and counting!
