I have decided to set up a youtube channel to document my journey - wherever it may take me.
I thought it would be a good way for my family and friends to catch up with what I have been getting up to, give people thinking about doing similar things a chance to see what it is like, but also something for me to look back on when it is all over!
Rocked my new CA hoody. Cringed at my camp application video. Lost the peg game while food shopping. Stressed about end of month. Deliberated cutting my hair. Jumped on the bandwagon and bought some Nike Blazers. Tried to stay awake on Monday. Shared (well thought about it) a diet coke with Dan. Complained about being tired (again). Received my visa for America. Sat in the sunshine at the pub. Got certified in first aid. Caught tonsillitis. Celebrated getting a Canadian visa. Enjoyed feeling like summer had arrived.
On June 4th 2013, I will be getting on a plane to San Francisco. After years of telling friends and family that one day I will go travelling, I will finally be leaving the country. First stop is a summer camp in California! I got the job through the organisation 'Camp America' and I would definitely recommend them, they have been incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. So June - August will be spent teaching children arts and crafts and photography, alongside other bits and bobs, in Portola Valley. California is always somewhere I have wanted to go, mainly because of The Hills, (I know, I know!) it looks like such an exciting, interesting and beautiful place, and I can't wait to get there! I'm also pretty excited to be teaching and helping kids to have an awesome summer, not to mention spending time outdoors, instead of in an office! After camp I am hoping to do a bit of travelling around America. I have 30 days before I have to leave the country! So I'm going to use that time as well as possible, to see as much as possible. Texas, New Orleans, LA, Miami, San Francisco, Las Vegas, are all on my hitlist! Then following my 30 day trip around America the plan is to go to Canada and do some snowboarding! I'll update you as I go along, with all the things that I have to do before leaving the country. There's a lot of things to sort out!
