But otherwise, there are are loans or I save or sell (I saved for my trip to Australia/nz and sold my car to afford it) and just go for the cheapest flights. <br /><br />I also stay in backpackers or really cheap hotels, take public transport, cook for myself or eat out for lunch instead of dinner, and read up on enough guidebooks that I can give myself a guided tour and usually on foot. And having all my family live in Europe helps too. Everyone can afford to travel it just depends what you want to get out of it.<br /><br />2.

Um, I got to your blog from some comments you made over at <a href="http://notanotherrelationshipblog.blogspot.com/">Eileen's</a> but I didn't see a place where I could email you...<br />So...I just have two things; one question, one comment.<br />1. How do you afford to travel all around the world? (forgive if I missed it; I've only skimmed so far)<br />2. From now on, I will live vicariously through you. But in a friendly, non-stalker way.Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322144788826667458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-26383311555507490972007-01-31T17:18:00.000-08:002007-01-31T17:18:00.000-08:00Sooo many gorgeous gothic castles.

He wasn't an entirely happen man based on his lyrics and what went down in his life. <br /><br />I have a degree in forestry from a Seattle university so I've spent a fair amount of time in towns like Aberdeen. Yeah, the job market is bleak and the vibe isn't overly positive. <br /><br />Wanderlust - ah, you don't really need a translator anyways. It's all about body language.

She said he was an asshole. <br />I was walking home with my brother when I was a teenager and I heard them practicing in their garage. Back then I would have never guessed that Nirvana (or whatever they called themselves back then) would be the biggest band to come out of the area.<br /><br />A Novelist ~ Aberdeen, WA might be a nice place to visit but the job market there is horrid. My dad, aunt and uncle still lives in the adjoining town, Hoquiam.
