lollerskates Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Keep your travelers cheques in a bum bag.But if you are going to the states, a word of warning: they call them fannypacks there, because fanny means your arse, not your minge.

Rachie Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Where you planning to go? Europe? The States?If you're going around Europe you should Interrail it! Totally wanted to do that last summer but it fell through.Very jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim.. Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 You say that you are heading into the unknown? Weird.If so, I'd take a book of Enochian calls, 3 wooden stakes, a silver bullet and a Sigillum Aemeth.Say hello to Crowley if you find him.

NARC Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I saw you in Aberdeen Airport on about the 8th of January - were you not going somewhere exotic then?I recommend mainland Spain, being biased. Although only in small doses, should you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishbone G Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Im doing the same in summer, sludge. I found that just a wee bit of googling can bring up a whole load of stuff, from what equipment to take, to experiences of other travellers and their advice. Just google your heart out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Pel Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Also in America do not ask for a 'fag'.Go to thailand and Australia for proper travelling. I've done the latter and was amazing...not regretted in the slightest despite what people may say. Sitting on a beach in a holiday resort is not travelling...Next year I am hoping to interrail aroud Europe and then hit Peru with a good hiking friend of mine. Test it out for me.Read some Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson and Alex Garland for inspiration.Oh yeah and lonely planet. And watch that tv show.Have fun.

Paranoid Android Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 How long you going away for? Just for a few weeks or is it for some months? If it's just for a few weeks round Europe then Inter-Rail is definitely the way to go, (just make sure you know what trains you're not allowed on). If you're going for a long adventure make sure you have a set daily budget and try to stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodast Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Where you planning to go? Europe? The States?If you're going around Europe you should Interrail it! Totally wanted to do that last summer but it fell through.Very jealous.Das what I did. Do it this year, it's awesome!If you do it and stay in hostels, try to find the best hostels rather than the cheapest ones (usually they are all cheapish anyway) - it's worth it because the places we did that in were the ones we had the best time in.Theme parks - WalibiWorld and Efteling in the Netherlands are cool (WalibiWorld has better coasters, Efteling has more majik), but very busy during the holiday season and both involve very hot crowded transfer buses..Don't step on the seats on Dutch trains.You can probably get away with not paying for the public transport and then pleading ignorance if you get caught, but don't do it in the Czech Rep, because the police probably won't bother with trying to speak English, and they will escort you to an ATM to pay your fine. But if you do go to Europe, the one thing you HAVE to do is go to Munich, and if you do go to Munich, you HAVE to stay in the Euro Youth Hotel on Senefelderstrasse. And then go to the Hofbrauhaus, the market thing not far from Marienplatz (Viktuelinmarkt or something) and Temple Bar in Ostmunchen.And most importantly: roll up your socks and underwear and put them inside your shoes, and squeeze all the air out of your hair product containers to save space....

NARC Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 i KNEW i saw youI saw you too, but alas I was with the parents, and they are still are of the age when their son speaking to a girl = over-questioning. And fuck, it was like 9am on a Sunday morning - I'm liable to get nasty when pushed over the edge at that time.Still, hope you had a good trip, and salutations from sunny Sevilla...
