Hey guys, new here but I've been browsing a bit. Looks like the best board out there so I actually registered

'Aight here's the info:
-23 year old male
-Living in Little Rock, Arkansas USA (originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana USA)
-Recent college graduate
-Waiter at a nice restraunt

Now for the deal, I am gonna keep waiting tables even though I have a degree now and should get a REAL job because I don't want responsibility yet (plus its damn good money

) I've got a lease on a house right now with some friends, its up at the end of April at which time I think I want to take some time off and do the UK/Europe thing. I've been there but haven't done the backpacking/hostel thing before.

I will obviously move around a little but I am planning on staying for a good bit of time in most locations because I enjoy getting to really know people, areas, and lifestyles more than I enjoy simply seeing 'stuff' (though I good bit of 'stuff' watching will obviously be going on as well

) I should have a good bit of money but aside so i'll probablly see alot even if I do take my time moving from place to place.

Allright, I'll start asking the real questions in other threads, just wanted to say 'hi'. Oh, if anyone is traveling the states and coming through Arkansas drop me a line. If I'm off work I can take you out hiking, fly fishing, kayaking, camping or whatever in the beautiful Ozarks. If I like you you can crash on one of the futons, there arent exactly many hostels around here.... If by any chance anyone around here is REALLY into flyfishing I make pretty regular trips to the Gulf of Mexico (anywhere from Florida to Mexico) fly fishing for large ocean fish, theres nothing like it in the world and I'm always looking for partners.

See you guys around,
Carter
