Mid twenties probably. I should have learned that much earlier in life, it would have saved so many heartbreaks.

How old were you when traveled alone for the first time?

At 21, I took the train from Philadelphia to Chicago to visit my cousin for two weeks.  I had a great time and made friends on the train!

How old were you when you first took a vacation on your own?

Without parents?? When I was 17 my friend and I drove up to a camp where a friend of ours was a counselor for the summer. We spent the weekend there and I have good memories of it.

How old were you the first time you left the US?

31, when  went on my first trip to the UK with my cousin.

Without parents??

Hmmm, I guess what I really meant was How old were you when you first took a vacation by yourself (no parents or friends)?  So that will be my next question.

Ohhh!!! I was 32. I went to Edinburgh as a birthday gift to myself! I'm not really keen on vacationing alone.

How old were you when you moved out of your parents house?

I was 19...a lifetime ago! My mom's advice to me when I told her I was going to move in with my boyfriend....'make sure you can pay your bills'

How old were you when you felt like a grown up?

hahaha still don't feel like one. Have to act like one but doesn't mean I have to feel like one.

How old were you when you first shaved whether you needed to or not?

Still tired of coteries and bans. But hanging about anyway.

I'm pretty sure I shaved my legs around age 12 or 13.  Didn't need to though.

How old were you when you first took public transport on your own (not counting for school)?

I was 12 - my friends and I used to take the bus into Bristol to go shopping on the weekends/inset days from school :).


How old were you when you first set up house on your own? (i.e. bought furniture/ornaments, planned decor, made the place your own etc. - I've only just started doing it this year because I've been in and out of temporary uni accommodation/my parents house for the past 8 years)

I guess 23, when I moved out for the first time.  I didn't have much money, and I didn't really buy any furniture, but my room-mate and I certainly made the place our own with our (and friend's) artwork and thrift store finds.  I was 31 when I bought my first real piece of furniture--a futon and frame, It was also my first place alone (with no room-mates).

How old were you when you first lived with a romantic partner?

34 - my husband! I'm not opposed to living together before marriage, that's just how it ended up working out for me!

16. It was a huge Cutlass Supreme. I could lay down in the back seat and my head and feet wouldn't touch either door. umm....not that I spent much time laying down in the back seat.  :o

How old were you the first time you skinny dipped?

Really young, under 10.  We had a pool and my best friend had some liberal minded parents so she ended up introducing me to all sorts of information that made my mother sigh.

How old were you when you first heard about the birds and the bees?

Very young. Probably about 5/6. My father believed in answering questions fully.
