Help, Not Just Anybody...

Dear Reader:

I need your help. I am currently penniless, homeless, wallet-less, phone-less, hungry and devoid of caffeine in Amsterdam, NL.

What started as a month-long adventure in pursuit of academic glory (I presented a paper at the International Hemingway Conference and was supposed to do the same at the Imagism Conference) and love and all those wonderful things has turned into the worst month of my life. Aaron got food poisoning on the plane over; I got seriously ill in France so we missed the Imagism conference; my wallet was stolen from inside my locked cabin on a night train from Poland to Switzerland; the train left without Aaron in Austria and I was thus stuck in Austria with all of our luggage while he was stuck in Switzerland with our passports and money for an entire weekend; the hotel in Switzerland overcharged us by 300USD for a few minutes on the internet trying to get in touch with one another; the same hotel cheated us out of our student discounts on breakfast, etc.; we got kicked off the train en route from Lausanne, Switzerland to Prague (my beloved Prague) due to one ticket agent's incorrect stamping; they ripped up our ticket despite having 3 days of travel left on it.

Now I'm going to die.

Go to my travel blog or my Facebook for more info on how you can help.
