My LA Bucket List

Hey lovelies! This is a personal post of my own { Bekah } and I thought that I would do My Los Angeles Bucket List which is what I would love to get done while I'm living there and even at the moment - but obviously won't even happen until we move there as I want to save my cash for the move!



Runyon Canyon // Now this is one of the main things that I need to do. Within the first month of being in Los Angeles, I want to be able to go from the bottom to the top and back down in a reasonable amount of time without being half dead, as such.

Go To A Dodgers Game // This is something that everyone should do whether your living in Los Angeles or just visiting. Baseball is a huge American Sport and it would be good for me to embrace the American Lifestyle.

Audience for a TV Show // Now where else would you be able to do this? There are so many different TV Shows that get filmed in Los Angeles are always looking for audience members. I'm going to make it my own goal, to get onto an audience!

Go To A Red Carpet // Awards season and Movie premieres in Los Angeles are one of the bigger events that happen in the city. They are literally always packed but if you find the right contacts, you should be fine.

Los Angeles Sunset // Even if its just once, I want to be up on the hills when the sun is setting as I've seen pictures and I would love to experience it for myself!

The Farmers Market // The Los Angeles Farmers Market is supposed to be one of the best in the world - so I cannot wait to go and see what it has to hold! 

Let us know in the comments below - what would be on your Los Angeles Bucket List?

The Plan #1 😌

Hey lovelies! This post is going to be all about the plan and the steps we'll have to go through to get to Los Angeles! This is just the way that we're doing things, not saying it's right or wrong but it's our way! 



Saving // This started as soon as we decided that we were going to move. It's only small savings at the start but every little bit helps. We'll be upping the savings in the next few months. 

Pick A Date // We wanted to pick a date where flights ain't that dear and where the weather isn't too hot so we can climatise to the heat. We have currently picked 16th of March 2018. 

Visas // We will be applying for VISAS as soon as possible in the next year depending on what type of visas we're going for. We'll be going for the Lottery and then the Migration Visa - which is based on an interview in the U.S. embassy. 
• We know that it can be hard to get one so hence why we're applying as soon as possible •

Telling Parents // Some of the girls need to tell their parents and family which is a main part but everyone is 18+ so they can make up their own decisions and it's a once in a life time opportunity. 

Areas // We are going to do research on each of the different areas around Los Angeles so we can pick the best part to live in. We're not fussy for the first year or two as we just want to be able to stand on our two feet without being in debt. 

Costs ( Once Off ) // First we going to look at the once off costs which includes - flights over to the U.S., Visas, Shipping Costs, Mortage Payment Upfront or Rent Deposit and Furniture & Electronics. 

Costs ( Reccuring ) // These are costs which are going to be happening all the time which includes - Bills, Rent or Mortage, Food, Petrol/Diseal and whatever else! 

Flight Prices // We are currently looking at flights between March to May as they seem to be the cheapest. These flights will be checked every week from the following - Dublin, Bristol, London Gatwick, London Heatrow and Glasgow. We are keeping an eye on SkyScanner for the flights. 

Housing Market // We need to keep an eye on the housing market as it's going up and down the whole time over in the U.S.  We need a big enough house but we're only looking for a 4 bedroom so it'll be 4 people per room. 

Once Visa's Are Approved // Once our visa's are approved we can get down to work on booking flights, sorting out accommodation, shipping and all that. No point in doing that all until we get our visa's. 

Meet Ups // We'll also be planning a good few meet ups so everyone can get to know everyone properly and plan more in person. This is hard since 6 of us are in the UK and the other 2 are in Ireland. 

House // Once we have the house picked and know what we're getting, we'll be sorting out the house bedrooms, decorating it, rules and much more. This is something that everyone has to agree on and everyone needs to be happy with everything. 

This is literally just Part One of The Plan, I'm sure there will be more posts in the future. 

Let us know in the comments below if you've ever done a big move like this? Or would you like too?
