Well i've just joined this forum and I thought I would say hi to everyone. I'm a 22 year old backpacker who has done a bit of traveling ive been to canada, iceland, australia, new zeland, japan and korea but id like to do alot more traveling. I have a world trip planned next year so any advice would be helpfull. I'm currently doing a degree in Psychology with the open university while doing work here and there to finance my trips. I love Rock and Metal music my favorite bands are Queen, Iron Maiden, Kiss and AC/DC although i like Jazz, Blues, Country, Clasical, and some pop so we should have at least one band in comon. I also love rugby, wrestling and most other sports (except golf lol).

Well allow me to be the first to officially welcome you to TPunk!
It sounds like you've got a monster of a trip planned so I'm sure you'll find plenty of advice here to get you started.
Don't ever be afraid to ask questions no matter how stupid they might seem.
