Default Howdy All!!

So I've been a member here for quite some time but have never really had the time to check the boards on a regular basis. But I'll be leaving for OZ, NZ in september so I should be on here and there trying to figure some stuff out before I leave. I've got one year of school left but need a break so I'm taking off for a year to go travel NZ and OZ, should be a blast and who knows maybe I'll meet up with some of you over there!

Vaya con dios

Welcome to Tpunk! I understand what ya mean. I have two years left but I need a serious break (about 2-3 years)!! It's nice to know other people takes breaks too :D

So what made you choose OZ/NZ? I'm sure you'll have a blast. It is definitely a place I plan to hit over the next few years.

Not really sure, just always wanted to see that part of the world. When I got out of high school I was all set to do a rotary exchange in Australia but found out at the last minute they had some sort of age limit for Australia and I was two weeks too old, so I did my exchange to Austria instead, funny how that works out
