You've got to have a European adventure at some point K.

I'm having a ball on mine. I LOVE it.

Would you say you've changed as a result of your travels?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 18:52, Reply)

I'd hope so
She'd be a bit stinky otherwise.

definitely.
I'm a lot more confident, for starters. And I can now sleep on a floor, a sofa, a train car, a bus, on people's shoulders and almost on a station bench (I was very tired).
And I'm better at just taking care of myself and knowing when to stop and have a break.

I was actually just thinking about going to get my passport.

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 18:49, Reply)

Do it,
You passport will be valid for 10 years and you'll be able to take advantage - at short notice - of any opportunities to travel that come up.

You've mentioned India as somewhere you'd like to go before, why not cheer yourself up and plan a trip and then see if you can work out when it would be feasible to travel.

apparently white american women should not travel in India alone
I blame Julia Roberts

Well plan a European adventure then!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:01, Reply)

I only want to go to the UK really.
And I keep talking about it but I haven't done yet, mostly down to the fact that I'm horrible at saving money.
Plus I'm a big scaredy cat.

What worries you about coming to the UK?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:06, Reply)

all the hoodies
not really, it's more of a fear of being raped and murdered that my dad has instilled in me since I was a kid
I'm afraid to travel anywhere, really

I've walked about in Watts
And not felt threatened.

Every Country and every City has scary bits. Stay away from them, you'll be right.

I'm going to Virginia this year
Nowhere near you, though - you'll be pleased to hear.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 18:52, Reply)

oooh where you going??

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:00, Reply)

Manassas
Civil War thing.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:01, Reply)

That's actually VERY near me.
As in half hour away.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:04, Reply)

Thought you lived in Richmond.
I'm on a two day battlefield tour - early October.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:10, Reply)

Definitely don't. I live about 40 miles west.
That's pretty cool, are you re-enacting?
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:14, Reply)

No
Just fascinated - there's four of us travelling over. Three are going to NASCAR in Charlotte, NC. I'm doing the battlefield thing, then we meet up again in Washington and head to Detroit.

Edit - where do you live then?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:18, Reply)

NASCAR
Are they trying to find the best way to never want to visit America again?

I live here
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 19:24, Reply)

They love car racing
Plus, one of my mates works in the UK office of a company based in NJ and they get free tickets.
