Florida - The Re-Run

Me and my friend decided this year we were going to go back to Florida for a second year to visit friends. We only went for a month this time but we managed to fit so many things in! We went to the beach (of course), visited more of St Augustine, went to the springs, Georgia, visited camp and just hung spending quality time with friends we love and miss. I don't have much to say as such because it was a 'visiting holiday' other than I had an amazing time, but I just wanted to share some photos really! 

Teacher Training: It's Over

I honestly thought the day would never come. That day is, the day my teacher training finished! I can not believe that it's finally all over, I still don't feel like it really it but it actually is and I'm very happy to wipe my hands off of it! 

Travel Blues - How to Shift Them

Oh the dreaded travel blues, we've all had them. You have the best time away travelling and you get back home, reality hitting you like a ton of bricks. Not fun. I must admit in recent months I've had serious travel blues but I'm trying ways to help tackle them a little bit. In this blog post I'm going to talk about a few things that I'm doing to tackle the blues. 

The Lake District

I had the opportunity to go work with 'troubled' teenagers from Essex/London area in The Lake District and obviously I jumped at the opportunity. Working with kids is something that really does make my heart full but I'd never actually worked with 13/14 year olds so I was a little bit apprehensive. 

London Day Trip: Top 5 Places to Check Out

The other week I met up with Dion (from camp) and we decided to meet in London because D lives in Watford and I live in Essex so it's a good middle ground and let's face it there is always something to do in London?! We were only in London for the day but we squeezed in so much (yeah, 35,000 steps I should hope so too!) I'm pretty used to London and go there regularly but having sent photos to my American friends it made me think how not everyone just pops to London and for some London is a big deal. So here is my little whirlwind day trip so if you ever find yourself in London for the day you can see a fair bit in a short amount of time! 

Summer Camp: Working at a Day Camp

When I originally applied for Camp America in November 2017 I had this whole vision of what my summer would look like, log cabins, bunk beds, camp fires, big lakes and most definitely working on a residential camp. I'd never really explored the option of working on a different style camp, such as a non-residential, but low and behold that was where I ended up. 

Summer Snaps

So in my last blog post I spoke briefly about Camp America and my summer but I really wanted to share some pictures with you guys. After all, a picture speaks a thousand words! This summer was fun, crazy and liberating but I think I'll always wish I had more photos (despite having thousands) maybe I should have stuck my GoPro on me 24/7?! 

There are a lot of photos in this post some from camp, some from time out of and camp and some from travelling after camp. A mixed bag to say the least! I just felt my last post was very very VERY wordy so here is a much easier read haha. Enjoy!  

A Fresh Outlook for This Blog

A lot has changed over the last 10 months and by a lot I really do mean A LOT. 10 months ago I was going into my final semester at university studying Education and Childhood Studies with no clue what the next 10 months would hold for me. Fast forward 10 months and I look back and think, "How did all of this happen in 10 months?" 

So let me break it down for you what happened... 

Camp America: What to Expect During The Interview?

So you've decided to take part in Camp America, you've completed your application (which is very straight forward and is just discussing your skills so do not be put off by the initial application process!) and now you have been invited to the interview, hooray! But what do you need to expect from your interview and how can you prepare? Well I recently had my Camp America interview so I thought I'd share my experiences and help you if you are preparing for your interview! 

Top Five Things to do in Amsterdam

Me and my best friend recently took a trip to Amsterdam for my 21st birthday and it was the most amazing week full of food, exploring and lots of walking, trust me a lot of walking will happen, my feet were throbbing! We only had three full days in Amsterdam so we knew we wanted to fit as much as we possibly could in the smallest amount of time possible but we struggled to dwindle down what was the best things for us to do so I thought i'd make a blog post for anyone else who may want an idea and what they can afford to give a miss and what they should definitely check out!
