Hello everyone! I am new on here, I have done quite a lot of travelling but always been with other people. I graduated in May and have now taken the decision to go off and see the world solo, im trying to save some money and as soon as i have 1500 banked im booking my flight out of this hell hole that is halifax west yorkshire!
I plan on going to aus for a while then new zealand possibly thailand and then canada...i don't tend to think my plans through to much but if anbody has any tips on how to survive as a solo traveller I would really appreciate it!

Welcome to T-Punk. You will never have to ask in vain for advice. I have my trip to Scandinavia already planned for next August because of these great people. If you have any questions then ask. Even if you think it is a stupid one, ask anyway.
