Felicity took a gap year between school and university, and got seriously bitten by the travel bug.

Hi I'm Felicity, I'm 20 and I am in my 2nd year at York uni, studying the wonderful subject that is English!

Home for me is Worcester in the Midlands - which bears a striking and slightly spooky resemblance to York! I feel like I don't even leave home sometimes!

Before moving to Worcester this summer, I lived and grew up in the quaint yet slightly boring village of Broadway in the Cotswolds - great place to visit, but not so good to spend your teenage years! Especially as your only neighbours are sheep and buses come round every day or two if you're lucky!

I took a gap between A-levels and Uni to travel and chill for a bit. I spent 4 months in Italy then Thailand - which is possibly my most favourite country in the world! And I also spent a 3 months in China teaching English, which was an amazing experience and opened my eyes a lot!

One thing about travelling that is a slight cliche, yet totally true, is that you do get the travel bug! The amount of times I want to jet off is getting silly now! I even ended up living in Cambridge this summer, just for a change!

I did manage to get to New York in September though - just this time I took a suitcase instead of a backpack - sometimes you just have to live the high-life! Unfortunately my bank balance wouldn't stretch to some, actually most, of the shops on 5th Avenue!

But now I'm back from a great summer to embark on my second year of study! And I've decided to pull my finger out this year by actually getting a job, which not only gets me out of bed on those non-lecture days, it also funds my nights out! Why on earth I didn't do this in the first year I don't know!

So here goes to another year, which already seems to be disappearing fast! So I'm just making sure I am making the most of it this time!Whatever that may require! So, that's me and I hope you enjoy my student diaries!
