Hey,
So its pretty much nearly two weeks till I leave and ..BY GOD IM STRESSING!
I find myself having so much to do, yet so little time, yet always have a moment when my stomach flips when I remember that in two weeks time I will be flying to South Africa, by my self, and will be there for 6 months.
I cannot explain how excited, yet how scared I am at the same time, but I promise you the excitement always overules the scared bit of me.
My mother is still having kittens over the fact that I am going travelling, but at 19, there is no way you can keep me cooped up.
For anyone that may be still be in college, and is concidering doing a gapyear, get your college work out the way first PLEASE. It takes so much pressure off you! I have got this week, and this week alone to get 3 peices of coursework in, marked and redone to then sign off hundreds of peices of coursework I have done over the last 2 years in order to finish my course. Joy.
I would also advise sorting your travel insurance out, A LOT sooner. Silly me has only just started to look into it, and the two best I can find is Ace Travel - http://www.aceinsure.com/backpacker/?afl=5697 .. and Holiday Safe - http://www.holidaysafe.co.uk/. However for both I cant find customer reviews on, so im pretty unsure what to do!
ANYWAY im pretty much doing this blog, to allow you at home to keep track of me while im 9,000 miles away from home. I will try my best to write as much as possible, and will show you all the photos I will be taking!
Cheers now!
