I told ya you'd find someone to go with, now you don't need to tag along with some random student backpackers.
Not fussed on Australia, I wanna go somewhere which doesn't have a predominately western culture. New Zealand and Fiji appeal though. >Linzi: I wanna go away thats why! What about South America? Anyone been? Watching planet earth has made me wanna go, especially around the Amazon.
spose me n a mate have been looking into round the world and think its british airways that have deals on round the world tickets pretty sure its open aswell may be worth having a look at costs and stuff like that i def wont be able to go of travelling till 2009 and by that time you never know were you will be or situations your going to be in
