  Great to hear that I’m not alone on the tour :D
  I come from a little village in Germany. But before I start the tour, I spend 5 months in New Zealand to work and travel. The tour is the ending of my time in Down Under. Where you two come from?
  I travel one my own, so I’m a bit nervous about that…

  Oh wow that sounds amazing!! We come from a little town in England, we are not travelling for very long compared to you- we will go on the tour and then stay in Canada for two weeks afterwards before returning to the UK.
  Don’t worry about travelling alone, we will be there too! And once you have done it, you will be glad you did it :) Are you leaving soon for New Zealand then?

  That’s sounds great too. I think Canada is also a beautiful country.
  Yes, I’m leaving Germany in 3 weeks on february the 8th. I’m very excited, but I think it will be the adventure of my life:)
  Is it your first tour with contiki?

  By the way, my name is Teresa and I’m 22. And you?

  Have you been to Canada too? Yes it definitely sounds like it will be the trip of a lifetime! This is supposed to be ours, but it’s not that long compared to yours! We wanted to go for longer but it is so expensive and I am starting university in September so my time is limited.
  This is our first tour with Contiki, I booked it through a travel agent so I didn’t even realise I was booking it with Contiki!
  How rude I didn’t introduce myself! My name is Harriet and I’m 20. 21 next month! My boyfriend is called Rob and he is 21.
  What sort of things will you be packing to go away with? You’re away for a very long time!!

  No I wasn’t in Canada until now. But a friend of mine was there and she was enthusiastic. But I think the countryside of New Zealand is similar as Canada.

  I travel with a backpack and a hand luggage. It will be hard for me. Normaly I use a very big case when I travel around, but I know, this time I have to sort out ;) So we will see.

  When do you arrive in Darwin? The same day like the tour starts?
  I arrive on July the 8th, so I spend two days in Darwin, before the tour begins.

  Yes it will be very hard for me as well to squeeze all my stuff into one bag…! That is something I’m a bit worried about.
  We arrive in Darwin in the early hours of the 10th July, we get there at 4am! So we have about one day to look around. Have you booked your hotel yet?
  Also, we are staying in Sydney once the tour has finished for a couple of days. Are you doing something similar or are you going straight home?

  No I haven’t booked my hotel yet. I will book it shortly before I arrive in Darwin. I think I will spend the days in a hostel like I do in New Zealand. When you choose a hotel/hostel you can tell me, so perhaps we can meet us before the tour starts.
  After the tour I will stay in Sydney for one or two weeks, before I go home. In this time I want to see the Blue Mountains.

  Have you ever been in NZ or Australia?

  Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and I’m from Toronto, Canada. I’m looking forward to the trip. We should get a Facebook group started if there already isn’t one.

  Hi everyone,
  I’m thinking about booking this tour as well, but I’m a little scared about it because I’ll be travelling by myself for the 1st time. But it kinda reassure me to see that other people are traveling on their own!
