Hey everyone. I actually stumbled onto this site a week ago. Yeah, I guess you can call me a lurker. Anyway, I decided that I should sign up and introduce myself so I can meet people before I go to Europe.

My name is Tuyet. I'm 20 and am from Vancouver. I'm currently a Broadcasting student and will be graduating in June. My grad present for myself is to buy a ticket and go backpacking in Europe for 2 months. I plan on going in July alone. I've never traveled before, so I don't know if this will be a good idea. That's why I'm here. I'm hoping to find a travel buddy who would like to come with me.

Anyway, I guess that's good enough for now. I promise I won't lurk anymore. See you all around =)
