People
I've made it a mission to talk to as many people as possible. As such I have met more new people in the last two weeks that I have in the last two months.
In no particular order:
Cam and Stew who are from Adelaide in Australia, currently working Manchester but road tripping around Europe. Ken from Utah who got arrested before boarding the Eurostar train to Paris for carrying a knife and was headed to the French coutnryside for some frest. Aminta from California who was being chased around London by an amourous and very persistent guy who followed her to the hostel from the airport. We spent most of our time giving him the slip. The two sisters from New Zealand, crap forgot their names, who are trying to find work in Lyon. Matieu from just outside Hull Quebec, studying in Lille and in Paris to the sights. The two french guys who helped me figure out the trains even though they barely spoke any english and I barely speak any french. Lee from Vancouver who I bumped into on the Paris metro and then ran into again in Nice and with whom have spent the last couple days hanging out. Enrique from Brazil who spoke excellent french but not much english and after having an extremely broken conversation with in french offered to keep an eye out for the socks I lost in the laundry room in Paris. (They were my favourite blue stripy ones!) Ingrid from Mexico City who I met in Lyon after having "issues" with my dorm door and ended up spending 2 days exploring the city with, and who is awesome! Andrea from Chile who loves art and who I followed from Lyon to Nice, with whom I got into a 4 hour conversation about Action art. Chris from Toronto who is headed to Interlocken in Switzerland to leap off cliffs. Jen and Suzie, who are halarious and with whom I got into all sorts of trouble in Nice with. And a whole whack of others for short but neat conversations.

Sounds like you're meeting an incredable number of people! Soon you'll be the 'seasoned' traveller that dispenses sage advice to all the newbies you come across. =)
