Thanks for the welcomes
In Australia I stayed in places outside of Melbourne... Castlemaine.
Most of my time was in Victor Harbor and Adelaide.
I'm in Washington state now, where I grew up. I'm just north of portland.

Haha, thanks.
Friends that I made in Australia are moving to London to work/play. So I'll have a free "home base" to Europe. Plus traveling around and meeting people has been some of the best education/fun I've ever had.

Where abouts in Europe are you thinking of? Are you going to get a Eurail pass? If you're looking for reccomendations I am sure there are many TPunks who will throw in their 2 cents

I'm starting out in London(as a home base, pretty much) then getting a three month Eurail pass.
I don't have my main plans of where I want to go for a time yet, trying to keep it open. But also I'm researching of stuff I know I want to see along the way.
I have a good three months till I leave.

Rode down from wellington down along the both islands. Only was there a week and a half. I have to go back some day, it was beautiful/relaxing there.
I really liked the lake taupo area.

I guess I was quite lucky the time I spent in Taupo, I simply loved it there.
For sure! Next time I'm there I plan on a month minimum.
