Hello, I am Iov Pater. Some of you may not know me. The rest of you probably do, to varying degrees at least.

I am planning an international tour as a present to myself for my 24th/25th birthday. In the interest of making this trip as economical as possible, I would like to know, from each and every one of you who has ever A) met me in person or B) would like to,

1) Where exactly you live: Country, State, county/municipality/township
2) if it would be possible for me to crash at your place for 1-3 nights (The floor is fine)
C) The amount (in local currency) you would expect I, as an active tourist/exporer, would need to spend per day in your country, including food, transportation, museum fees, etc

I ask for this information not only because I have been greatly pleased with the experiences I have had in meeting those of you who I have met, but because I anticipate even greater pleasure at meeting some of you who I have not yet, and I hope you would appreciate such meetings to a similar degree as I would, as well as, if you have already met me, perhaps have enjoyed it to such a degree that you would not be opposed to a similar and perhaps longer meeting in the near future.

I greatly appreciate your attention in this matter. Viva la giraffe revolution!

While I'm loathe to force the state of my diabolical floors on even the most wayward of travellers - you're more than welcome to brave them should you feel up to it.

If you want to see most of Glasgow an all day bus ticket and all day subway ticket will cost about $5 american. Most of the best sites - like the recently re-opened Kelvinhall museum - are free.

Dirty American, stay away from my family! :P Anyway you already know I`ve met you and I doubt you want it to happen, again. But if you do decide for some warped reason to visit a country super close to your own and need recommendations, ask and ye shall receive.

The Netherlands, Almere. It's a 30 minutes drive from Amsterdam and well connected by roads and railroad.

Yeah, sure. Probably.

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever. Just goes to show that I'm already an Unresponsible Adult (recently turned 21).

As much as it'd be awesome to have you visit, sharing a flat with someone makes it hard for me to say "Sure, come sleep on our floor!". I have no problem with it, mind.

As Mojo asked, when abouts are you planning it for?

I'm thinking it will be a present to myself on my 25th birthday. Which would be December, 2007 - a year from this December.

Of course, I may decide I need to get out earlier and do it this December, but that is mostly dependent on whether or not several thousand dollars extra fall into my lap.

I'm thinking I'll put together between 3 and $5,000 USD and split it among a variety of destinations chosen from the following:

1. Thailand
2. Ibiza
3. Italy (again)
4. Scotland (again)
5. Dubai
6. Australia / NZ (for the surfing mainly)
7. Las Vegas, Nevada (I've never been)

Amsterdam would be cool. I'd like to go just to hit the hookah and see a live sex show, or hire a prostitute or whatever, just to say I'd done it.

{EDIT} Did anyone else notice that my original post goes 1), 2), and then C)? Kids, not a good idea to post while tipsy. Buzzed posting is drunk posting.

That is because you type your forum messages in Microsoft Word. Don't even think of denying it.

Africa scares me.

Of course, given I know next to nothing about where you live in South Africa, my generalized fears of the continent (which have to do with extreme poverty and population explosion, AIDS, environmental degradation, political instability and violence) may be completely baseless. Am I wrong to fear South Africa?
