Intro
Hi my names Dustin, I'm 38 years old and a long time dream of mine has been to visit the United Kingdom. I've never been abroad or on an airplane, but recently a group of my gaming friends from around the world have invited me to meet up with them in the United Kingdom in march.
If I try to go any other time it will be a lot more expensive as we're sharing lodging the first week of the trip to help off set costs for everyone considerably. It's also giving me the opportunity to meet incredible people that I may never meet otherwise, it's truly a stars have aligned moment.
Break Down
Although I'm stressed this isn't that kind of breakdown. These are the why's of the goal I'm trying to achieve:
- I need to obviously get a passport first and foremost for the trip in March, and I'd like to expedite the process just to stave off some worries so that will run around $200.
- The flight itself is looking to be about $700 or so at the moment but it goes up the closer to the date itself.
-
Lodging will be split the first week amongst everyone which will bring it down to around $150 for the first week, but if I'm going I'd like two weeks to really see the things I've wanted to see for so long. So I'd need additional lodging expenses.
- Then there's the living expenses of food, local transportation, indiegogo fee's as well as any unforeseen expenses that may arise.
Impact
Trying to track down and meet these friends would be impossible, some of them that will be at the get together are like extended family. This is a culmination of a lot of things I'd like to do in my life before it's too late, with friends that I love.
I'll be taking lots of pictures and will attempt to do a few live streams!
