I'm planning a trip in the future, not really the Near future, but its close enough for me to get excited by watching this :) I'm in grade 11 now, and I'm taking a year off after I graduate grade 12 so that I too can go on an amazing adventure like this :)

@OtakuDreamer101 That's fantastic news and I'm sure you'll have a great time - Don't forget to let us know how you get on :)

Santa Monica was in there, if I'm not mistaken!

I now wish I'd kept a video journal of my travels, and I plan to on my next travels some time early in 2010.

Maybe the greatest movement ever for international cultural exchange. Among the best things : the shared commons kitchens/dining area, clean simple accommodations, low cost, excellent group outings to events/activities of local/national culture. And offering membership in a great movement that promotes peace and international understanding.
