Hi,
Just thought I had better send a message to introduce myself..... even though it seems that most people don't and so I sound a bit silly.... but I thought I would be polite. Plus I have to say this message board is the best I have found during my days and nights of trolling the web for backpacking info!
So back to me.... well I am Kate and my partner's name is Simon and we live in Melbourne Australia. Before I met Simon I had the travel bug BAD and visited quite a few countries with a Peace Education group called CISV. I used to work for a year to save the money then head off to another peace camp somewhere, then work for a year.. etc. etc.
But since I met Simon and settled down (ha ha ha) I haven't had time for travel. Well actually since we got a house and mortgage and I went back to Uni we haven't had the time or more importantly the money. I haven't been on a plane in 4 years.... and we didn't even have a honeymoon when we got married 2 years ago!!!!
But enough of the complaining because we are booked to leave for London in August and I can't wait! We will visit my parents who have lived in London for the past three years and travel around a bit with them.... see some of London, Whales, France and Cinque terre, then my parents leave us to explore the rest of Italy on our own before coming home!
I keep reading great stroies and messages on these boards and I am sooooo excited to be travelling again! I only wish we had longer than a month to do and see everything we want to! But a month is better than nothing!
So I look forward to hearing from you all, send an email our way (kfairlie@iprimus.com.au) if you want to chat and look out for us in Europe in August!!!
Hugs!
Kate ;D
