California, San Francisco to be precise. It's not certain yet though - I'm still battling other students for a workplacement over there.
If I make it then I'll be in San Fran from January till July and I would go back to Europe by the end of August only - giving me two months to travel from the West Coast to the East Coast and really dig into the American Lands and cultures.
My grandmother is my biggest supporter in all of this. Obviously she's seen WWII so she has this view of the world as England and America as the only safe places; she's also convinced peace in Europe won't last. I think her exact words were: "Now you make sure you get to America, boy, and don't you come back! Blood will flow again over European lands, you need but study history to draw that conclusion."
