An Update
This us just a warning to anyone who reads this blog, but I might not be on as much in the coming week - not only has my internet died (I'm using the wifi from the chippy across the street right now) but I'm going to Amsterdam on September 2-4! I am so excited, I can not wait to see that gorgeous city! But in the meantime, I will do my best to queue some posts for you all, but my internet is really spotty.
So basically, this is an apology in advance if there aren't as many posts in the coming week or so. I promise to be back as soon as I can!
Love,
Caro

Adventures
Now that I'm back in Scotland and my test is finally over and done with (hallelujah!), I have a month to spare before my classes start up again. Like a lot of people my age with no job and no classes, I can get sucked into the internet, spending days at a time inside watching videos or literally going through every single page of someone's blog. This time though, I've found myself in Europe with no commitments for a whole month, so I'm making a promise to myself not to waste this opportunity!
Basically, what I've told myself is this: Every week I have to do something that I feel is worthy of bragging to the world about, whether I make a post about it on here or its a story I share at parties, I have to do something awesome! A few ideas that I have lined up include going to a free festival with a friend, going to Amsterdam for a few days, and staying out at this one club until five in the morning! (You get a free t shirt if you do, and who am I to resist anything free?)
So what I'm doing, is just trying to do more. It really doesn't sound like much, but for someone who spends a lot of her life on the computer, I really could do with a little more adventure. And I encourage you all to join me!
Love,
Caro

Traveling
This Monday, I leave California to go back to Scotland
for school. Its a little sad, because I have to go back early for a test, but I plan on making the most of it once the test is done and doing some traveling!
I've been flying on planes for most of my life, but in the last year or so I've started getting increasingly nervous on flights. To keep calm, I listen to music and I do my best to be asleep when the plane takes off - I've found that if I'm not aware that the plane is actually departing from the ground, I'm a lot less nervous for the flight. Which is good when your flight lasts 8+ hours.
Also, I wanted to make a quick apology for the fact that I've been making a few less posts lately, and that will likely continue for a little while. I'll be traveling and adjusting myself back to Scotland, and then moving into my flat and cramming for my test until August 14th. But after that, I should be up and running, even if I do some more traveling.

Israel
Earlier this year, I got to go and visit my friend in Israel over Easter or Passover, and it was so much fun! I've gotta be honest, the travel there and especially back was pretty bad. On the way back, it just seemed like everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong. But other than that, it was an amazing trip!
I stayed in Tel Aviv with my friend at her aunt's house for a good chunk of the time, and for the first few days I was there. We went to the beach, and basically just did some shopping and hanging out when we were there. After that, we went to the Negev desert for two days, and we went camping. We actually got lost for a little while, and on our way to the Bedouin camp we were staying at we saw some actual Bedouins, so that was pretty cool. Of course, it was significantly less fun when I was lugging around a tent and a giant backpacking bag on my back. But eventually we got there, and the food was amazing, and the next day we got to ride some camels and go on a little desert safari ride. When we got back from the desert, we went to Jerusalem, which was so amazing! We saw some exhibits at the museum, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, and went to this amazing outdoor market place. We also went to the Western Wall, which is where I took the picture below.
I would absolutely recommend going to Israel if you ever get the chance! It was beyond amazing! However, be prepared for lots and lots of security checks in the airport, especially if you're traveling on your own and its your first time in the middle east. While I won't be going back soon (because my friend is moving back to the states, and I don't speak Hebrew or have any family there) it was definitely worth it, and I entirely recommend it.
Where is the most exotic place that you've ever visited? Tell me in the comments!
Love,
Caro
