Greetings from an (obviously) blind newbie who couldn't SEE the Introduction section.
Hi guys! 
I'm Louise, a 22-year-old Dane whose boyfriend of 4 months, Morten, went to South Africa 4 days ago = what seems like an eternity already
He's going as a volunteer for 1½ months, then off to Australia to backpack and work.. and visit New Zealand for about a month in the end.
In total it's probably gonna be 9 months.. 9 LONG months.......
But he HAD to go. He'd started making arrangements even before we got together, and had a lot planned when we were merely casual.. he had his doubts right before leaving, but I insisted...
And I'm actually the one responsible for his trip in the first place - because when we started hanging out as friends in August last year I'd just come home from a year of traveling/working in New Zealand and kept blabbering about it - right up until May this year when we got involved... from then on I kept my mouth shut because I didn't want him to leave, lol!!
But no, seriously, it WAS an amazing year.... so on one hand I'm SO excited for him to get the same opportunity - but on the other, having your SO on the other side of the planet isn't much fun....... something you can all relate to - obviously.
I'm in the middle of a full-time one-semester course in classical drawing, something I'm very passionate about, so of course he shouldn't stay put but go do something he'd always wanted
This is merely a test - and if we make it I'm sure we'll come out on the other side a happier, stronger couple..
If I have the money I might get the opportunity to go visit and travel with him in late March once I finish my studies, but even 6 months seem like forever!
So.. hi! a newbie with a brave face, carrying a serious amount of heartache checking in...
