Hi guys :)
My name is Jordan, I'm from a tiny town in rural Virginia.
After I graduate, I'm planning on traveling Europe for as long as possible before coming back to the States to go to college, start a family, etc. So I figured I'd come here for advice, tips, tricks, friends, and all that jazz. I'm a huge music freak, I listen to just about everything. My favourite band is Pink Floyd, but I'm into lots of metal, straight-edge hardcore, punk, electronica, ambient, etc.
My reasons for traveling are:
I'm restless :P
I want to expand my horizons
I want to get an outlook on the world past just what I've been brought up with, not that there's anything wrong with it.

I agree too - all excellent reasons to travel! Welcome to the boards!
Where are you thinking of traveling specifically in Europe, I'm sure we all could be a lot of help with planning your trip or advice on where to go/what to do.

I'm sure you'll find out lots here, I always have. Backpacking after senior year is awesome. I did it too. Good luck with everything!
