GapYear.com does miracles!

I have found a travel buddy thanks to GapYear.com! Her name is Pooja and she sounds very enthusiastic. I really need someone like her. Best of all? SHE'S LOCAL! Nothing beats gushing about German boys in Singlish. ;)

Not going to reveal much about her here but I'm going to tell you that most likely, we'd be hanging around each other for a good three months. Where there's my blog, there's Pooja. At least, if she allows it!

I don't get many views now but once I go to Europe, I know my friends and relatives will be checking this page almost daily, seeing what I saw a few hours before right across the world. Isn't that fascinating?

Right about now, I'm going to reply her email. She's making plans to fit mine, over the long weekend. Hopefully we make a good team!

Have a very Good Friday and Happy Easter Sunday. ;)

New Itinerary + Travel Mate(s)?

So I've joined Gap Year and posted on Rick Steves' Graffiti Wall. Hopefully, I get some favorable replies from nice, energetic, and adventurous young people to meet up with somehow, somewhere along the trip. It's always good to have people around!

Also, I have drafted yet another itinerary for my trip:

I am aware of the Schengen Pass—I do not need one. I am aware of the 90/180-day rule—I know how to handle it. Who knows, I'd just spend a month in Ireland and then spend the next three months in the rest of the European Union? This is just a timetable to follow. :)

I'm sure there may be places I'd love to stay more, and places I'd take only a day to look around. Like mentioned, this is not set in stone. If I want to, I'd skip some places. Maybe I'd meet people who'd bring me to new places. This timetable is just one to follow. Who really goes without some sort of a plan? And as the saying goes, the best things that happen are always the ones unplanned for. Well . . . most of the time!

Oh, of course, I need an itinerary so that if the officials at the borders ask me for them, I have it. Online. Officially. On my own site! Now that's a bunch of O's!

So, if you've been reading this, and you want to meet up, please drop me an email at xezabelx@europe.com anytime. Again, I'm looking for:

• fun
• energetic
• adventurous
• spontaneous
• flexible
• open-minded
• easygoing
• curious
• excitable

I can be fast-paced, eager to run rounds round the Colosseum . . . but I can be the kind to take a day off to just laze at a cafe, write in my journal, and then have a long picnic by the Eiffel Tower doing nothing but chat. Hopefully you're around my age... 18-24? At least we could be on the same level, ya know?

Well, about me, I can club, swim, dance, climb, eat, relax... Yup.

Most importantly, you must be able to take risks... To WING IT! I love that. Because I'm like that. You can have just €2000 and you want to do three months, fine with me. We'll find a way! I'm up for anything good, clean and fun!

So... EMAIL ME!
