I was thinking that for a first travel experiance, I would like to travel to France (not my top choice for a destination, but I figure as a first-timer I should pick someplace visitor friendly). The time of the year I want to go is almost infinantly flexible, I don’t have any place specific as of yet in France that I would like to go-preferably a faster paced, populated area as apposed to flat out rural. I would like to go on approx. a month long trip, getting to know the people, and the language, make some friends along the way-that sort of thing, and I want to do it all dirt cheep. I’ve recently discovered stand-by flying as an option, where you can get a two way open ended ticket to and from France for around $500. Then I would like to find a way either through Woofing, or some other nifty travel network to get by for a month once I get there on less than $300. This is a big BIG and potentialy life changing thing I want to create for myself, but as a first time international traveler, I would really like to find somebody from the US or Canada with similar goals to have a great time in France with!
All that said quite clumsily, is anybody interested in joining me and trying to make something happen?
