Butterflies are eating away at my intestines right now, they're fluttering up into my throat, they're making heart beat just a little bit faster than usual.
In about five hours I am boarding a plane to London......I'll be gone, alone, for two months.
Sure, I don't deserve a medal, people do this kind of thing all the time.....but not anyone that I know ;) By next week I will have had high tea, attempted to get a British guard to share a pint with me when he get off work and can "talk." I will have done things that are English cliche's and hopefully, while I'm sitting in Paris eating a croissant and writing my blogs I'll have some stories worth telling.
My iPod is fully loaded; Joshua Radin is going to sing me to sleep until I wake up across the water. Santogold is going to WAKE ME UP and make me want to party and hopefully a little Fleet Foxes will calm my butterflies down to a steady flutter.
For the next two months I'll be blogging from London, Paris, Zurich, Florence, Munich, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Amsterdam....with some cities in between.
Me, my camera, my moxie and my guidebooks will do their best to document the whole thing.....so I'm OFF!
Tata!

Just got back from Europe 2 months ago. Spent a month there. God I loved London and Florence. You have to try to fit Venice in as well. It's expensive as hell. Not that impressed by Paris - smelt like pee. Hope you return with great tales of adventure.

Good for you, Chelsea! You will have an amazing trip. I'm here if you need anything... cheers, jen

Godspeed miss Chelsea, we're rooting for ya!
It's going to be fun.. or hell, but most likely fun.
If I lived in London I would offer to take you for a drink or two, but I don't.
Wish I could afford to jump around Europe a bit myself (I've only been to a few of the places on your list).
Good luck and safe travels! I can't wait to read all about it!
Yay! Have too much fun! I wish I could come!
Sounds fabulous! Will you be working at all or freelance writing? AKA HOW in the heck are you affording TWO WHOLE MONTHS traveling?? I'm soooo jealous. Can't wait for the fun stories to come. Enjoy.
be safe. don't take drinks from anyone.

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SWEET WISHES, I RALL APPRECIATE IT!!! as for how can I afford it??? WELL, I gave up m apartment in nyc, for one, which saved me a big chunk of change....then, i JUST SAVED a lot, went back and stayed with my family for a month so Id have less expenses and became somewhat of a recluse, rarely leaving my house so i COULD AVOID PAYING FOR GAS........then, came out here willing to mayyyybbbbe raack up a bit f debt....ha.
Chelsea be careful the last time I went to London for 2 months I stayed for 8 years! hehe have a blast!
I'm so excited for you!
