The Best Birthday

Hello everyone!
I am a big Disney fan but I've never been to Disney Land or Disney World and I always wanted to go, so I was thinking I should go there for my birthday. But I am going to be 19 in less than 6 months and it may seem a lot of time but it's actually not and if I'm really going to do this I want to do it right, to visit and see things as much as I can, as many places as I can.


So what I will be doing is make a separate account in my bank where I am going to save money just for that trip. I think that if I start saving money more than 1 year before the big event - which will be my 20th birthday, in 2016 - and I start looking at prices, it will all good smooth.
A few months before the trip I will already have looked at all the possibilities and I will make my decision and book flights, hotels and make a visiting guide plan - you know how I am with lists!
That way I will be able to visit as many places as I can, explore a country I've never been to, have the best birthday ever, create some new memories, have more content for my blog and channel - a big event like this has to be documented - take a break from everything else and make one of my childhood dreams come true: going to Disney!


I am like a little kid inside and I just can't wait to see if this crazy plan is going to happen but hopefully it will! I'm so excited!!
I'll definitely keep you guys updated on how the plans for the trip are going. Until then...

(keep in mind, this is just and dream/idea. nothing is sure to be happening.)

CouchSurfing

Recently I bought a book called Estou Nua e Agora? (in english it means "I'm Naked, What Now?"), written by Francisco Salgueiro. This book is a veridical story about a girl from New York named Alex who goes on an amazing travelling adventure just to have fun and ends up doing it for the whole year.
This book's inspired on Alex's stories, which she has written herself and published in several books.
The way she travelled from country to country was by using this thing called "Couchsurfing" - go to https://www.couchsurfing.org/ for more details. It is basically a community of people who want to travel to different countries, get to really know and absorb their culture without paying a single penny.
It is one of the most interesting books I have ever read and also I great help as I'm a person who hasn't got a lot of money but would like to travel to several countries. If you are like me I think you should check out the website and see what it is about.
I did not mention the most important fact: you stay at other people's houses and sleep there for how many days they want you to sleep and it isn't necessarily in a bed... it can be a bed but it also can be a couch, a mattress or even just the floor.
Well, you might think this is not safe... I had my doubts also. But after reading the book and seeing a few videos uploaded to the CouchSurfing's youtube channel (click here to go to their channel) I feel like it's not as bad as it sounds.
I've never tried doing it and if I ever do, which I probably will, I'll share my experience here and also on my youtube channel.

That's all for this post. Sorry if it was too short but I just wanted to let you all know about "Couchsurfing" because I think it is a very cool community and I think people who love to travel and get to know other countries and cultures should try this, as it probably is the best way to have tons of great and grand experiences.

All my links are in their usual place - at the end of the page - so you should check them out and also don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin'.
Thanks for reading!!
