I am moving to New York, well for 12+ weeks starting at the end of May and in all honesty, I am really nervous but excited.
My New York Adventures will see me become a Fine Art Counselor (teacher, assistant, etc) on a performing-arts specialist Summer Camp through the organisation: Camp America.
Yesterday, I picked up my Visa and Passport from my nearest delivery depot and all of a sudden, everything feels VERY real. In 25 days from now, I will be on a plane to somewhere new 3,200+ miles away from home. It’s scary, to say the least.
I’ve been preparing for my new, temporary, life on Camp since January. So far I have bought all my clothes, wellies (it rains a lot apparently) and bug-spray (it’s essential), which is arguably a good start. However, there is still a lot more to get ticked off the list before I fly on May 31st.
On a side note, as you can imagine, travelling in America will bring new opportunities for my blogging life. I’ve been fortunate enough to be welcomed onto the Camp America “Storyteller” team for 2018 so, therefore, I shall be sharing all my Camp ups-and-downs with you all in the coming months. Also, seeing as you have all LOVED my bullet-journal related blog posts lately, there will be PLENTY more of those to come. This will begin with a Travel Journal theme starting next week, so keep an eye out for that; you won’t want to miss it, trust me!
I just wanted to stop by to let you all know about the exciting few months ahead of me and the kind of blog-content you should expect to see. Right now, on with the regularly scheduled list!
Did you see these three blog posts? They have been SUPER popular this week; catch-up here:
- What is Self-Care and why is it so important?
- How to find your more productive successful self!
- 101 Bullet Journal Ideas you CANNOT live without!

Wow – I’m very jealous. I went to New York couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. Have an amazing time! :-)
Thank you so much. I have also been before and cannot wait to be back there! :)
I wish you all the best!
Thanks Carmen <3
Good luck with your move! You must be soooo excited!
We moved from London to Vancouver last summer and I am sooo glad we did! I hope you have a similarly awesome experience.
Thank you Josy. London is an awesome place, I loved living there too. Although, I imagine Vancouver to be beautiful but cold?
Congratulations, New York is awesome!:) Have a wonderful time. I am excited to follow along on your blog.
One of my absolute favourite places in the world – I think. Cannot wait to spend a longer period of time there! I’ll be posting weekly so do stop by throughout the summer.
What a cool opportunity! I love New York!
I agree, it’s a great place full of very exciting opportunities for all to enjoy!
How exciting! I can’t wait to read about your journey! I’m excited for you! I hope you enjoy your trip!
Thanks Lisa. I see you frequently stopping by my blog to support me – here’s an extra thank you for that! <3
How exciting, Channon! You are sure to have some interesting adventures here in the States. Can’t wait to hear about them. I hope the bugs are not as bad as you have been warned about! :)
Thank you Shannon (great name by the way)! I have my fingers crossed too – cannot stand spiders!!
Chanon, wishing you all the best. I’m sure it will be a great experience
Thank you SO much for your kind words. I’m nervous but excited.
Oh how exciting! Camp America sounds like a great program, and it will be fun reading about your adventures! :)
It will be good to see exactly what it involves, I am excited but super-duper nervous about the whole thing. I’ve got high expectations but we will soon find out!
I am so TOTALLY jealous you are heading to New York. It has to be one of my favorite cities. What an incredible experience. I am looking forward to hearing about your thoughts and adventures. Yes to blogging material.
Thanks Brenda. I will be sure to keep you all updated and I agree, NY is the best place for blogging content and inspiration! Just the food alone is enough to win me over!
How exciting! New York City has so many wonderful surprises in store for you :) Just remember that the New York City pace may be intimidating at first, but it will come naturally to you.
While you’re stateside, I hope you take the time to visit New England, especially Rhode Island!
Best of luck on your new adventure!
I’ve already seen parts of Philly and New Jersey. I’d love to visit Rhode Island – I’ve heard lots about it!
So excited for you. I live in NYC for a while and absolutely loved it.
It’s been great so far. Such an interesting and inspiring place!
Have an amazing time! This sounds like an incredible adventure.
I do love a good adventure and thank you Angela!
Sounds like you are going to have a really super adventure! Make the most of it & I look forward to reading all about the camp etc ?
