Page 1: The Story Starts Here

I’ve had emails from my Nan for the past six months or so asking me what my plans for Summer 2014 are. And I've vaguely replied-
 

If you’ve opened up this blog page chances are, you're interested in my summer. And so you should be ;) It’s bound to be a good summer because… 

I’m going to America to work as a Camp Counselor!

 

 

I'm very excited to be teaching outdoor adventure at a co-ed sleepaway camp in New York!

 

This is July 2013's blog (http://openmyjournal.blogspot.co.uk/) which raked over 1500 views (so I can assume it wasn’t just my Dad who read it, and refreshed the page for a continuous month…). I’ve been writing journals 9 years now and they’ve always been stored in boxes and hidden under school desks, last year was the first time I shared the contents so it was great to get such a positive response (as always, I love it when people comment on my posts, so feel free to say what you think, I dare you!).

 

And this blog is going to become my somewhat edited journal of the experience. I think we can all expect ridiculous stories about hilarious adventures with amazing people. I’m so excited to have them and just as excited to share them here with you!

 

I'll end with a cool West Side Story gif seeing as the name of this blog ("I Like To Be in America!") is a reference to the West Side Story song 'America'.
