Default Hi all

Im going to Europe. Im very excited Im going to the United kingdom and the Republic of Ireland for approxemently 2 and a half monthes. Im staying in Hostels and doing some backpacking tours. Im leaving Oct 2nd and coming back December 12th 2008.

Its my first trip to Europe. Im very nervous but so gung ho. I have my trip planned and it includes a lot of seeing the country. Its a case of not enough time but its a long enough trip lol,

Anyway im from Alaska and ive attended school on and off and I live on a farm. I have lots of animals and love them very much. I also love the outdoors. I love to Camp, Hike and do all kinds of fun things. Of course I love to travel thats something i love very much.

Im taking a year off from school in order to travel and do some other things as well

Adri

Welcome

You're going to be in the UK the full 2.5 months? I think you'll like Ireland, you might also enjoy Wales...very scenic, great for outdoorsy people!

If you like farm animals you'll have plenty to see in Ireland. The entire country (outside the cities) is basically farmland. We have no wilderness as such.
