In this blog post I'm going to give you all the necessary information to stalk me. Not because I am a bonefied crazy person crying for attention, or because I missed the class about internet safety. I'm sharing these details with you, my readers, to give you a better idea of how and when I'm travelling to the USA !
On 7th August a plane will
take off from Auckland for Los Angeles with me, hopefully inside in. I will stay in LA for a few nights in a hostel at Venice Beach, my first time staying and travelling alone. My heart kind of leaps in my chest at the thought of it - I'm terrified ! So many things could go wrong. I might not meet anyone in the hostel. I might not talk to anyone for three days ( and if you know me you'll know this would be a problem). Okay, breathe Caitriona - hopefully everything will be okay.
After three days in LA I'm travelling to State College - the town surrounding Penn State campus smack bang in the middle of Pennsylvania. The town that will be my home for the next ten months. I've included a map to give you a better idea of how this town basically in the middle of absolute no where.

abroad, which is presenting a major challenge because I literally have no idea how I'm going to fill ten months of possessions in the Air New Zealand weight limit ...
My luggage allowance is ..
My luggage allowance is ..
- 1 carry-on - 7kg
- 1 suitcase - 23kg
Some very difficult decisions are going to have to be made in order to fit a years worth of clothes, shoes, makeup and accessories in under thirty kilograms !
