First Leg: FL Summary..

So camp is over; now time for the real reason for being in America..travelling! 

 I was lucky enough to make American friends that were driving down to the state of Florida from camp and offered me a ride. The journey was loooong, about 12 hours however I was so physically drained that I slept a lot of the way. We stopped off at Gainesville, the college town for University of Florida, as one of my friends has a her college house here. We visited a lovely restaurant/deli called Deli on 43rd Street (review coming later). Then back on the road for the second leg of the journey which should take about 4 hours. 

For the first couple of nights, I stayed with my friend Shannon at Weston, FL. For the majority of the time I am not going to lie, I slept! All I wanted to do was sleep and tan, typical Brit! We did visit South Beach in Miami which was beautiful. 

Then, I moved houses to my co's house, Morgan. At the time, there was not only me but my travel buddy Robyn and a group of lads from camp. So Morgan decided to throw a bit of a pool party/ Blue Star Reunion- always fun! We visited Lincoln Road (will explain in later post), beaches and did a lot of relaxing!

Moving day came again, this time was to the Scheck's for Shabbat Shabooty. We had a meal which literally filled me up for 5 days, it was insane! Faryn, our host, also took us to Wynwood Walls, which was amazing to see, we did some shopping a lot of eating and then the nomads (Robyn and I) needed to find another roof to stay under.. SHANNON!

That's right good'ol Shannon took us back in, we visited Fort Lauderdale to see her sister. But unfortunately then I got a cold (I know I am in Florida, what is going on?!) so I kinda felt sorry for myself for a day or two, so we stayed around the pool and they had to listen to my whining! 

Then the last house of FL came about in the shape of my other co counsellor Bailey- this is also where we met the last part of the travelling trio, Hannah. She took us to The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens, which was so peaceful and beautiful. Unfortunately there was a lot of tasks that we needed to do before we travelled to San Francisco, so the day was cut short to pack and book accommodation, seeing as we were flying the next day, it was kind of important!! 

And that is it, my Florida experience summed up in a few short paragraphs. There will be more posts about the things  I did whilst I was there and places to eat, so keep posted.

Thanks for reading guys, stay safe✌️

Camp Update..

Just want to start with saying I've been so so poorly over the last couple of weeks. I have had really bad tonsillitis, which has mad me want to crawl in my bed and die! But anyway I'm back with another post.

It has been a really great week, as I said in my first post, that I hoped to do some travelling well, I have finally been placed in a quaint camp in North Carolina, Blue Star Camp!

Lets Give it a Go..

Hey there, this is my first blog post (so go easy!), just going to introduce myself and tell you a bit about me:

• Name: Lucy Charlotte Gilbert
• Age: 19
• Town: Doncaster/ Nottingham
• Boyfriend: Bradley Christmas (promise you that's his real name!)
• Job: Office Clerk and Receptionist
• Guilty Pleasure: Katy Perry
• Best Holiday: Amsterdam

For a while now, I have wanted to try my hand at blogging; This year I have had to make some pretty intense and difficult decisions, which have not only changed my present but my future as well. A lot of the time I tried to Google a solution to these decisions, which got me thinking that sometimes having a strangers opinion can help.


Hopefully, I will be travelling and working on the summer camps in the USA this year, if you want to find out what Il be doing, and how I'm getting on please give us a read and even ask a question or two. I would love to hear some hints and tips for where to go!


I'm rather opinionated with topics that really get my blood boiling and have a bit of an obsession with shopping; so maybe a few hauls thrown into this blogging mix as well.


So if you fancy seeing where I end up or what mad tales I have to tell, 'gis a follow and a read.
