Olá!

Post by mariatherezama » Thu May 21, 2015 9:05 am

So I've been hidden in the bushes reading this entire board for months, I guess it's about time I show my face and say hi.

I love traveling and going on adventures and camping and enjoying different and interesting experiences, so it's only natural I'd want to go to Burning Man. I've been reading about it and wanting to go for years, until I finally decided that the time is now! I've got my event ticket and plane ticket, and I've been accepted by the lovely folks at Alphabet Block Camp to join them in this beautiful journey. So almost all ready to go. Can't wait (:

Also, I'd like to thank everyone on this board for helping out with all the best information possible to help me prepare for this. I'm going solo, flying in all the way from southern Brazil, so I'm hoping to meet some wonderful people here and on the playa (:

Love,
Maria

Welcome Maria. You will start meeting people as soon as your plane lands. Before you hit the gates of Black Rock City, you will have at least 50 new friends. That's how it works.
I hope you take the time to read some of the links in my signature below.
Looking forward to seeing you in the dust!

Hello camp sister!! Welcome to eplaya :)

I'm sure you know from poking around, but just in case no one has told you yet - don't be discouraged by snarky burners. Put up your gloves and punch 'em back!

Welcome to Eplaya.

You will have a great adventure! Never too early to start thinking about costumes and packing lists, dividing between bring with, acquire in the US and borrow/share!

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Thank you so much everyone! I'm glad to hear I'm in good hands, even though Joe might say the contrary (:
