Ok, after months of planning I’m sat on the coach at the start of my trip! Me mum gave me a lift to the coach stattion, and once I goton the coach all my nerves disappeared. I know it sounds a bit disney but I feel quite free spirted and relaxed.  We’ll see how the day pans out….

well i'm now in the hostel, which is amazing, as i got meself lost in paris. the hostel is 10 mins away from the train station i got off at, however thanks to shit sense of direction and not very helpful people i went all over the show, went to some of the most horrible neighbourhoods i've been to, had a bloke run past me being chased by a group with butchers knives... but i found an upmarket hotel and the guy behind the desk was amazing, and drew me directions and step by step instructions, though i got on the metro going the wrong way, so it took me 3 hours to find the hostel! i'm here now and i'm safe, so it's alright.  i'm sharing a room with 2 lovely new yorker girls who are doing a week and half tour of europe. i know i haven't seen the best bits of paris but i'm not that keen on it lol, i can't find a bed in a hostel tomorrow night, all fully booked, so if push comes to shove will last minute a hotel room, i know it's not the spirit of it but needs must. i'm really looking forward to sleeping. really happy i didn't pack any heavier also, me bag is amazing. like me mum said, it will be exactly how you didn't think it would be, however i'm really happy i'm here, we shall see what tomorrow brings!
