About this blog

Welcome to our travelog. The plan is to get over to Europe and then see the rest of the world. We are trying to go "on the cheap" and find friendly people to stay with. The main sites we use are www.globalfreeloaders.com (username: doodlebug) and www.hospitalityclub.org (username: trillian and doodlebugs).
