Hello,

I've booked the Russia and Scandinavia tour starting in Riga, Latvia, on June 2, 2008.
I'm 25, from Toronto, Canada, and I'll be travelling on my own.

Has anyone else booked yet? =)

Daryl.

My partner Daniel and I are booked on this tour. We are from Sydney Australia. I am 29 and have travelled contiki before, am really looking forward to it.

Hi,

I'm also booked on this trip but starting in Moscow. I'm 22, from Melbourne, Australia, also traveling alone.

Katrina

Where in Melbourne are you from Katrina? What do you do for work/study? Have you been to europe before. Sorry about the 100 questions. Linda.

Hi Linda,

I'm from Werribee which is western suburbs, what part of Sydney are you from? I just finished my university degree and the end of last year and have been working part-time at Big W whilst i search for a full-time gig.

Yes I've been to Europe before but never any of these countries, I have family in England and Spain and did a weekend in Paris last January. Have either you or your partner been to Europe before? What other Contiki trips have you done?

Don't worry about the 20 questions it's actually really nice to get to know someone else on the trip beforehand - this is my first time traveling solo.

Katrina

Hey guys...
I just booked then. My name is Daniel Im 23, from Newcastle Australia but Im currently living in Dundee Scotland. Im doing the tour with my G/F Lynsey... Has anyone else been on a Contiki tour before??

Hey all,

This is going to be my third Contiki trip. I took the European Discovery tour two years ago, and the Aussie Explorer over Christmas 2006. I've always done the trips solo and had a blast every time.

Like Darryl, This will be my third contiki trip and I had great time each time and still are friend with my past contiki travellers. I have done one in europe with friend and one with my partner Daniel. Daniel and I think that contiki is the one of the best ways of getting around for the price and the experience when you way everything up. I am fortnate to go to Paris each year for work (this will be my seventh year). I love France.

I am a beauty/massage therapist and work with 24 other girls. I consider myself pretty friendly, but am obssesively organised and bossy. At least I recognise my flaws. I love meeting people and new experiences. I am on facebook my name is Linda Fenech. I am not the Linda Fenech from south africa in her undies!!! I live in Sydney in the Hawkesbury area. We go water skiing on the river and in actually is a great place really.

My heritage is Ukranian/Russian father and a Maltese mother. So I have always wanted to go to Russia and Daniel thinks that scandinavia will be great. I don't speak a work of russian though! so don't ask me for translation.

Enough rampling, what are you all packing do you know how cold it will be or anything???? What about all of you??

Well I too am an organised person so i think we'll get along just fine Linda. I looked for you on Facebook but there were four ppl with the same name and whilst i could rule out the girl in her undies i didn't know which of the others was you..? LoL There are only two Katrina Watkins on Facebook you can add me if you like I'm not the one with the BMX pic.

As for the packing i'm totally stumped but my guide book says the temp in most of the Scandinavian countries will be mid 20's so i'm thinking a good combination of jeans and skirts should be alright.

what about everyone else???

Hey Everyone,

I am booked on the Russia and Baltics part of this trip, I finish this tour in Stockholm on the 15th June. I am 28 and from Auckland, NZ. I am travelling alone which is a little scary but exciting. This will be my third contiki trip. I am doing the Big Apple Explorer a couple of weeks before this one and I did the European vista in 2004 at the start of my OE in London.
I will be arrving in Riga on the 2nd June. Cant wait to meet everyone.

Megan

Okay Katrina will check it out. Daniel is a little unsure about latvia (riga) does anyone know anything about it? Megan, don't worry about travelling alone, I think it would be great!

This will be my 4th Contiki. I did Berlin to Budapest in May 06 and Simply Italy in May 07. I also did a tour of Los Angeles with Contiki, but that almost doesn't count as it was only 3 days. I am coming with a friend and it will be her 1st Contiki. We both can't wait. We are starting in Moscow and it's only 50 days until we fly out!

Hello everyone! My name is Romy I am 35 yrs.OLD and this is my 2nd Contiki tour. I took the Turkish Delight trip last year with a girlfriend and loved it. This year I got the guts to go Solo. I am really looking forward to all the countries we r going to visit. I am starting in Moscow on June 5th.
C u then!

I can't wait!!!!!
