It's the final countdown

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS.....

It's hard to believe that in exactly 56 days I will be boarding a plane and flying to the other side of the world..... on my own..... to live in a place that I have never been or seen before..... with people that I don't know..... for a whole year. Sometimes I actually have to remind myself that it is actually happening and that the dream of a European adventure is right at my fingertips.

If you asked me what I thought I would be doing in 2014, living in England would have been the last thought to cross my mind, but here I am, with my flights all booked, my suitcase eagerly waiting under my bed and a few pairs of newly purchased boots just itching to be stomped through the snow!

At the moment the excitement factor is definitely outweighing the fear factor..... (there have been no tears....yet) but I know that this will be the most testing, but ultimately the most rewarding year of my life. I thought that writing a blog would be a great way to keep my family informed of my whereabouts and day to day life (not so sure if its a really smart or really stupid idea), but basically for their own sanity. I also wanted to create a place where all of my beautiful friends can check in and read all of my embarrassing stories.... of which there are bound to be many and hopefully become inspired to do some travelling of their own! I cant promise that this blog is going to be highly intelligent, or informative, but I can promise that there will be lots of laughter and lots of love.

Happy reading xx
