How I did it
It made me
Feel alive 
How I did it: I decided to move to Boston because I love the east coast and I was accepted to a school here. I worked extra shifts and saved money to make the move. I looked for roommates on craigslist and applied for a transfer with the company I work for. Once I had secured a job and a place to live I moved! Read how I did it…
It made me
Feel at home!
How I did it: I went with a student ambassador program. Most the people in my group were quite immature, so I stuck with the couple of kids that were at my maturity level (I was the oldest of the group at the time). I definitely prefer traveling with a couple friends or by myself. Easier to not stand out as a tourist that way! Read how I did it…
It made me
Adventerous!
How I did it: Even though this will make me sound like a (lame?) tourist, I got the Eyewitness guidebook. It was split up by different sections of the city and I found that it was really detailed.

What has hindered me most from going sooner was the fact that plane tickets from the West Coast USA to England are over $1000 usually, and I’d have to drive over 250 miles to get to an international airport. However, this summer I am moving to Boston, and tickets from there to England are about half of what they are from San Francisco. This makes Glasto a much more realistic goal!
I’m going to fight hard to get my hands on a ticket to the 2010 fest. I have a friend who has been to Glasto a couple of times, so I’m sure she can give me pointers.
