Life Down Under- Sydney edition

Image
Why hello there friends! So this morning I had my first experience with an uninvited visitor. There was a juicy Huntsman Spider in my bedroom ready for me when I woke up. It wasn't massive but it was still bigger than anything we've got back in the UK so I was definitely not prepared to deal with it, so I summoned my host Mum, Jackie, to help me out! I pray he'll be the only one to make an appearance but I'll keep you updated! Other than that I've had a super exciting weekend! I had a long weekend off work so I decided to make a trip up to Sydney to see one of my best friends from home, Polly, who moved there around November last year. I had so much fun but it was such a shame that the weather happened to be terrible for the majority of the time I was there. It managed to hold back on Thursday night when Polly, her flatmates and I decided to go to the Ivy, a club which has free entry before 10pm on a Thursday. We spent most of the night at the amazing roo...

Camp America: The First Steps

For those of you who don't know, I landed a summer job as a Dance Instructor and General Counsellor at Camp Kenwood and Evergreen in New Hampshire , USA , and the start date is almost here! Although I'm excited now that all the preparation is over, it was a long and painful ride up to now, so I'm here to give a few tips to make it less agonising for those thinking about applying.  First of all, I should mention what Camp America is. It's an international organisation that hires people from across the globe to work at the hundreds of children's camps in USA . The one thing I have learnt from the many people I have spoken to is that no matter where you end up you're going to have the best summer of your life (I have yet to experience- I'll update you after the summer). Before the nitty gritty begins you need to apply, which requires starting an application (duh) on the Camp America website (www.campamerica.co.uk). This is very similar to a CV...

USA: Part 2

I'm still looking for a catchphrase if anyone can suggest anything! 'Hello readers' is getting a bit overused! I'll put some thought into it. Last time, I left you just after I had flown from Washington DC , via Las Vegas (that was a cool 5 hours), to Portland , Oregon , where Zach lives. We stayed with his family for a while which was ideal, particularly because his Mum's cooking and baking were to DIE for, and Zach showed me around a bit. After taking a couple of days to settle down we met up with a few of Zach's friends for an event called the Street Dance, which, surprise surprise, is where we danced in the street. Everyone was drinking and jigging around to live music and eating hotdogs and nachos. It was a really fun night. Oregon is very green and very mountainous giving us loads of treks to trek and views to view. Zach drove me to Multonomah Falls , which was soooo tall. There was a bridge you could stand on a little way up but Zach ha...
