An impostor - can I play too?
Permalink  

Hi all,

I've been reading through the forum posts here for a while, and have thoroughly enjoyed reading about everyone's trips and experiences (and the wealth of advice as well!).

The problem is, I'm not terribly grey (although have a few grey hairs creeping in of late).  I'm 28.

I don't think I really fit into the "yahoo, boozey backpacker" pigeon hole.  I intend to take off soon just for some r&r, catch up on some reading, meet some new people and see some of this country that so many seem to take for granted.

So - am I allowed to play here too?  Or do I have to wait for the grey hairs to talk hold a tad further?

Dave

We don't have too many prejudices Dave83 - some of us are grey, some aren't - you will soon know if you "fit in" or not. Besides our webmistress keeps a good eye on things here.

Thanks guys. I'm feeling very welcome so far. There's lots I can learn from everybody here, and hopefully some of my experiences with a few different campervans/motorhomes will help someone else as well :)

I have no objections to you coming to play with the big kids - just be careful of the terrible trio - if you haven't figured who they are yet, you soon will.

I'll consider myself fairly warned!

billeeeeeee - maybe you could keep a grey wig in the glovebox just in case somebody questions your authenticity?

Hi and welcome Dave. We are all here to learn and share.
I wasn't aware of any age or other restrictions, so I guess you're in.
It's really not up to any of us who stays and who goes. You'll work it out.
I hope you enjoy your stay.

I should also mention that I'm in the process of (slowly) decking out my own little van. Just an older Mitsubishi Express - slowly getting it up to scratch for trips

not too sure about that one, but I know that inside every fat person is a skinny person...

I have a great figure, it's just covered with fat.

Welcome Dave
This is a great forum - fun and you'll learn lots.
I'm hoping to keep the grey hairs away as long as possible.

Happy travels
