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
Olá!

Re: Olá!
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.
Savannah: I don't know what it is, but no thread here escapes alive. You'll get 1 or 2 real answers at minimum, occasionally 10 or 12, and then we flog it until it's unrecognizable and you can't get your deposit back.

Re: Olá!
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!

Hi Maria! Welcome. 
I'm glad you're going with Alphabet Block Camp; I think you'll be in good hands.

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me
