Hello,
I'm Louise, a 28 year old dreaming of her first journey abroad, and still
officially a Continental Virgin. Everytime I've planned a trip abroad, life always seemed to get in the way. But, on the 6th June, in around 2 weeks, all of
that will change, as I will go abroad for the very first time in my life, with my friend Amy.
Come and join us as we emark on a two week holiday to America,
travelling with
Trek America on their
California Calling Tour. We've also added on extra days in Los Angeles and San Francisco before and
after the Trek America trip, as well as a few days in Las Vegas, and a deluxe trip to the prehistoric, sacred site that is the Grand Canyon, with
Canyon Tours.
We only had eight months to save, so we'll be living off no more than a $100 a day budget, sharing our tips on how to have a good time on a budget. I'm
extremely excited and completely terrified, at the same time. I've gone
my entire life without ever travelling on a plane, and now I've got a
fourteen hour flight to look forward to! And, as far as the four nights camping are concerned, I've never camped a day in my life in the great outdoors or even put up a tent - apart from one of those pop ups in the backyard as a kid of course. And, I should probably mention my huge fear of moths, spiders, and, well anything creepy, eeeeek! I'm forever told of how bigger everything is abroad, including the insects and arachnids, so if you ever see someone frantically screaming and running as fast as an Ostrich, that will probably be me.
So, the question is
how in the world am I going to combat these fears?
Well the answer is simple, come and join me on my journey to find out :-)
Before we set off and during we will be documenting our trip in stories, pictures, video diaries, and our holiday highlights.
See you soon :-)
Lou and Amy.
