I'm A Newbie


Hi All
I joined up a while back but this is my first post.
I'm not on the road yet but I plan to buy a campervan later in the year and go travelling full time....and....I CAN'T WAIT!!!
I only dropped in to say g'day to everyone and wish you happy travelling.
Cheers. Pam.

Well hi Pam! Welcome to the GN, Solos and general.
I hope your avatar isn't a portrait of your camper van?
If you need support and advice, or if you have any support and advice to give, this is the place.
I look forward to more contributions from you. Progress report for example.
Safe and happy travels to you.

G'day CCB...and thanks for your reply.
Do you mean by being a bit like me that you're not on the road as yet either?
What are your plans on that?
As for a Blog. I will set one up before I "take off."
A whole lot easier all round for keeping in touch I think.
Have a good day. Cheers for now. Pam.

Hi All

There is a theme going on here. A whole lot of solos looking to travel one day soon.
It would be good if somehow or other we could keep in touch.

I went to the Adelaide camping and caravan show yesterday and like all other shows i have been too left with my brain spinning around.

I have no doubt about my mode of transport Pam.
In two years time i will buy a good car and a cheap van and have a bit of a look out there. If that goes well i will then buy an off road van like a Bushtracker but more likely a Phoenix and 50/50 bush camp and park.

Welcome to the site, happy travels once you do get moving.
