Give me an E, U, R, O, P, E what does that spell?

Spells "Georgina is going to EUROPE!"

Yes, having caught the travelling bug and feeling all good and happy about travelling (add on the huge hunger to see the world), I am planning on a 2 month backpacking trip to Europe at the end of this year (Summer 2006/2007).

Now, as you all know I am working on a massive thesis this year and will take a lot of my time. This translates to "Georgina will not be working that much anymore" and I won't be able to save as much as I would like to or normally would. This brings me to my humble request that all PRESENTS given to me this year should either be money or something related to my trip (i.e.: backpack, travel guides, maps, Swiss army knife, pocket torch, etc... (but please check with me first before you buy me something completely useless)).

I have made a quick calculation and in order to realise my dreams for this trip, I will need to save $700 a month. Like whoa hang on a minute! I don't even MAKE $700 a month! Plus, having just gotten back from my trip to America less than 5 months ago my bank account hasn't been rightfully replenished yet. And so the pleading starts. You know, I'd offer you some handsome cream but it looks like you already got some! Yes, you ARE the nicest person in the world (not to mention so immaculately good looking) and therefore you would most be willing to...


to "Georgina's EUROPE or BUST Fund"
That's right ladies and gentleman - I have a fund. Send your money securely over Paypal (the reputed online money transfer system) directly to ME from your credit card or bank account by clicking on the above "Make a donation" button! I would prefer denominations of around the order of $1000 but I will accept offers as low as 2 cents (although this may come with a slap). Every bit counts... squeeze that penny, y'all!

Of course I won't just take money from you! What do you think I am? Chopped liver? The kind (and stunningly gorgeous) people who donate to this fund and therefore making my trip possible will receive:

- a postcard from the preferred country that I shall be travelling to
- 1000 karma points
- a short espresso from my coffee machine
- life long satisfaction which sounds like "I made someone's dream possible. I am therefore a humble and worthy person. I'm most definitely going to heaven. I can feel it."
- be allowed to have a photo taken with me at a chosen location (2 photos max)

I don't see how anyone can forgo an opportunity and priviledge such as the latter. So you know what to do... collect your poo change, add them up, put it in your bank account and SEND IT MY WAY! ;) Your life will be better for it!
