Hey, just introducing myself -

My name's Willa and I've started blogging because I finally managed to get enough time (four months) to really get away. But I've been a traveller long before that - not least because I've moved lots.

I've lived in California (Berkeley and Oakland), Colorado (Denver and Aspen), Vermont (Middlebury), Minnesota (Grand Rapids), Washington, DC, Oxford (UK), and Vienna (Austria). I'm about to move to Charlottesville, VA in the fall.

Some of these places I haven't lived in for ages (I left Vienna when I was 13!) but I'm happy to give whatever advice I may have, and seek advice too!

I'm currently in India, and planning on going back to the UK, then France and Italy - but I'm at loose ends in July and either going to Scandinavia or Israel - very different ideas, I know, but I'd love advice on either.

Happy travels!

Hi Willa

Welcome to the forums!

I think Israel would be awesome, definitely somewhere I'd like to go at some point.

Hello Willa,

Welcome to Travelpod. Having looked at your travels, you should go to our recent forum http://www.travelpod.com/forums/index.php?...mp;#entry100354 which discusses which Travelpodder has been to the most countries.

By the way, before you move back to the USA, Central America being so close, I would recommend a visit to Guatemala. You might even consider taking a Spanish language course, which Guatemala is famous for. http://www.xelapages.com/schools.htm
