I am currently 22 years old living near Melbourne, Australia.

Well the contiki I’m looking at doing only goes for like a week but I was hoping to meet people staying in London, I haven’t lined anything up as far as work goes I was gonna just wing it, I have heard there’re heaps of job agencys that get u bar jobs really fast so kinda relying on that. I wanna do Spain in July the racing of the bulls and then octoberfest in September. I was in London last year and did the ultimate European it was so awesome never drunk so much in my life lol! Yes I’m totally freaking out cause I know no one over there and I’m totally just going with the flow haha. How are your plans going have u organized work?

haha i was gonna say! well the visa is easy to do, it just drives you slowly insane, well drove me insane…double checking and triple checking that you have all the right documents. But apart from that, its easy peasy lol. Bank account is my next mission, have you started that yet? nah i dont no anyone there! kinda nerve racking haha. how about you

Na I haven’t done my visa yet I’ve been approved for it but haven’t gone through the steps as yet. I haven’t even thought about a bank account yet I keep thinking I have 6 months but that will go so fast !! What date do you arrive in London ? Do u know of a suburb you are gonna live in ? I’ve heard hammersmith and Oxford and meant to be pretty good , yes it’s so nerve racking but exciting :))
