R&TAdventures This journal will document our planning and our trip to Europe that we have been waiting for - for many years. We will go for six months and travel through many countries. There will be a certain amount of planned activites but lots of room will be left for spontinaity.

We have been meeting many new people through CouchSurfing. We have had a BBQ and invited people from Melbourne and surrounding areas and travellers. Here are a few photos with the people we've met.

I think we are the oldest people in the network, but the surfers don't seem to care. Ron, one of them actually said he enjoyed being with older Couch Surfers. I think it's because they get a good bed and usually get fed. What we get from them is knowledge about their country, stimulating conversation and amazing cultural exchange.
