"Life's too short to not be travelling" leplaya's Profile

Hi, I'm leplaya, as you can see from my picture, I'm a Mongolian gerbil (not too many of those on VT) who loves to travel. The only problem is that my life expectancy is 3 to 4 years... so I really need to be on the move to reach my goal of seeing every country in the world!

All right, since all of you are wondering what that is a picture of... it is a Mongolian gerbil (a rodent that is commonly used as a pet). And it is my pet... unfortunately he doesn't actually get to travel with me. But he is happy enough to be featured on my homepage.

Actually, I'm a student at the University of Wisconsin and though I don't have the time (or money) to travel much, I try to get in as much in as possible. I hope to see some of you at a VT meet that I could actually get to.

Where is leplaya going next?

Washington, DC several times this year (more than I want to)
Northern California in May

... more coming

Hi! Thanks for your transport tip to vianden. I always go there with the car, but this time, i thought i'd leave the car home and take the train. I will give it a try. Thanks.
