Red face

Hey everyone.

Just thought I'd drop in and make myself known.

I'm a 20 year old Uni student (doing secondary school teaching) from Queensland, Australia.

Very shortly I'm heading over to Europe for 6 weeks with a couple of friends (maybe, they don't seem so keen) and travelling around. It's going to be a shock to the system, but I'm trying to stay sane. I'm definitely looking forward to it, and I'm so glad I found this site. It's amazing.

Anyway, that's about it.

Cheers.
