    My second time watching just to make sure that I don't miss anything! I'm nearly finished with the buying part and just need to get a few bits and bobs now - I think I underestimated just how much I needed to buy because I didn't really have any sports clothes or jumpers or tops or shorts! I'm now a shopaholic 😂! Leaving in 24 days and I'm so excited, but slightly nervous as well... anyway, I love your videos! xx

    I’ve never used packing cubes but I brought some for camp(if your reading this in Australia Kmart has some in black and pink!)and watching how you used them makes so much more sense haha so much more practical rather than just shoving everything in together, can’t wait to do a little practice pack this week and then I’m off in 2 weeks as of today! So exciting

    Hi I’m just wondering if you knew the answers to any of these questions as camp america aren’t answering!
    When do I receive my actual flight tickets and how do you sort the covid test? I’m so anxious about the flight as I have no idea what I need etc? Also when are you going as I haven’t started packing but I leave in 3 weeks… could you do a video on everything you have to do to fly etc??

    • @victoriawhitehouse704
      @victoriawhitehouse704  2 роки тому +1

      Hey! So I’m not too sure how it works with Camp America, I’m with bunac and sort my own flights so I’m not the best person to answer that one! Have you tried logging into your account to sort flights? And for a covid test it has to be done 24 hours before your flight, you can either pay to have it done and receive a certificate, or you can pay for a service where you do it yourself but have to video it and then you get a confirmation certificate. I’m flying on the 9th June! But yes I’ll do a video about the whole process of getting into the country x
