Looking good..

As you might have read, i have set myself a goal for this summer, to get my lazy ass out of this stinking and old Europe ;). I decided for Algeria, cause i think it's kind of cool country. I have read a little about it, i liked what i heard and the decision was made.
Unfortunatelyi couldn't find anyone to go with me. People were either out of cash, or lazy non-adventurous slackers, or non-adventurous hard working freaks planning to work the whole summer earning money ( guess they haven't figured out summer is about spending, not earning ) or adventurous people already have their destination in place and it's certainly not Algeria. For a moment there has been a glimpse of hope as one friend offered her to go, but then changed her mind due to school work ( read: diploma to write ).
After that i have been trying, asking people around, but couldn't really find anyone at all. Although i am generally very independent emotionally and don't have problems changing environment people around me, i would still prefer some company, it's just much more fun this way. People there don't speak English (only bloody French), so if you have someone you can chat and support each other in your crazy ideas. So i chose not to travel alone at all. But still, there was just simply no one to come with me.
As all got dark and gloom and it seemed like i am definitely not going anywhere this year, a guy i know gave me a hint to post an offer on this website, backpacking people read. And voila, in 2 days i got an answer. So now there is hope again !
From the response i think it might just work out.

Hooray for the internet. ;)
