I'm a college student and I'll be finished with community college by December of 2009. I plan on taking the spring term of 2010 off and then attending a University in the fall of 2010.
Seeing as how I have time off next spring I wanted to use that time to go to London. It's been a dream of mine for a long time. I know that rent for a place would be more than I could afford... So I was hoping that maybe a Baha'i family, in London, could take me in for a few months. I'll be twenty years old by then. I could possibley find a part time job at a shop or a restaurant, or I could help around the house. I've been cleaning houses for a long time, with my mother. So I have no problem helping with house work or baby sitting children. I also know I'll have to acquire a work permit and all that.
I planned on returning to the States during the summer of 2010, so again this is only a temporary, few month, thing.
I have family all over North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico) and I've been to all of these places, but I've never been across the Atlantic and I want to go somewhere different. My father got to travel around throughout his whole youth life because of the Baha'i Faith and I've always envied him for that.
Another reason I want to move for a while is because I was born and raised here in the same area of Florida. Although I have so much pride in my country and where I live, I'm getting a bit bored and I want to know what it's like to live somewhere else. I want to move for a while so that I can appreciate where I live now even more.
So please please please help me!!!

Greetings!
While you're there, do be sure to visit Shoghi Effendi's grave!
You can walk to it from the Enos Grove metro station.
(Near it is a small building used as a Baha'i information center; the person who runs it has frequent firesides at his home nearby and often invites visitors to attend.)
Regards,
Bruce

I don't think I'll make it. I haven't heard back from any of the many different e-mail adresses I've sent to the NSA in the U.K.
I'm still waiting though and I really hope I can go.
