RTW TRAVELER PROFILE - Lisa Cramm
Lisa Cramm leaves in March for a post-university trip through Europe, SE Asia and Australia. Her biggest fears for this trip are missing family and friends, and getting sick overseas. While she's hoping to keep the packing down to a bare minimum, she's taking the mini-disc player and the digital camera. She's through making excuses why she shouldn't go, so now it's time to really go.
