Hello all travelpunks!
I've been reading stuff on here for days now and thought to myself 'hey, it's time for an intro'! So here it is ....
I'm a 23 year old Canadian and I will be (hopefully!!) going to Europe this summer for at least a month. I've travelled all over Canada, but never anywhere else, and I'm going alone so I'm kinda nervous but I know it will be great. I want to fly to London and I want to go to Holland, Belgium and France and maybe Ireland. I was supposed to go to Iceland for 3 months but that fell through at the last minute so now I'm frantically trying to figure out what to do. I think I need to just buy the plane ticket and go!
My other travel plans for this year is to move to Australia for 6 months or longer at the end of October. While I'm there I definately want to go to Fiji and New Zealand. And that's it
Well, I'm really glad I came across this site, it's been so helpful, and I hope I can offer some help back to people!
~Rae

Hi Rae!! Your plans sound great, especially the plan to go to Oz, Fiji and NZ. I'm going at the end of the year to those three, and really looking forward to it!

Enjoy the boards!

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the warm welcomes, you guys are great!

To Farmboy: I'll be living in Melbourne while I'm in Australia, but I want to see as much as possible...I hope I can get used to the heat though as I can hardly handle Canadian summers!
