Welcome to the TravelPod forums

Hello

I'm a newbie, just joined the other week.

I'm a keen traveller and its all I want to do. Currently I work in a horrible dead-end office job purely to fund my travels but its worthit.

Ive been to Cambodia, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa so far. This year Im off to Nepal and India then Thailand in the new year and after that Im saving for a year backpacking South America

I joined a few blog sites but this seems to be the best! Its also the only one where people actually reply to me on the forums!! Thank you travelpoddlers!

Hey Gemma,

Welcome to the forums I had noticed you around actually because of your great username! When I joined, I was so unoriginal *hangs head in shame*, so you picked a good one - Why 'gemmacakebread'?

South America is BRILLIANT - I'm so glad you're giving yourself a whole year for that!

You've been to some pretty cool places so far too - I've not been to any of your conquests except Cambodia

Anyway, welcome
Kathryn

Ha well actually its just my name!

Gemma Cakebread

unusual i know. i just used it so friends and family would be able to remember it easily to see how im doing when im away.

so not really very imaginative at all but im glad it comes across that way

Really?? What a cool name!! Where is it from? Must be quite easy to trace your family tree I guess??!!

That is quite possibly the coolest surname I've ever heard!
