I'm thinking of heading on a j1, maybe Chicago or San Fran but I'm open to other places! I'm going to head on my own so would love to team up with others if they are heading in the same direction. I'm 21, female and from Galway, doing a postgrad in Dublin at the mo :)
hiya, im heading out on my own too, im kinda looking for some people to meet up with there/ live together. Im thinking Chicago would be near the top of my list. When you thinking of heading out?
hey guys im much the same, i looking at heading alone right now. i dont really mind where, somewhere on the coast would be the nice. i was thinking bout going round the end of may or first few days in june. My name is Nick, im 21 living in dublin, if your interested in meeting up for accomodation or anything, my email is neprendo@gmail.com. :D
hey we have a big crowd made up of ucc and nuig people heading to chicago on the 28th of may, we'd be needing big places to stay so it might be an idea to join up. were all around 20/21 and a mix of guys and girls
Im heading on my own so far aswell, my college mates cant afford it. I was told that California is a fairly expensive to live, so I was thinking of maybe Boston or Chicago instead but I love 2 team up with u guys & Im open 2 new ideas and different places. Im thinking of headin out around early June Eimear:)
@Bambi, I'm thinking of heading out early June because I don't know when my exams will be finished in May :)
I've heard Chicago and San Fran are great spots, does anyone know which place is best for jobs, or are they both the same? If people are still interested in a team up you can get in touch with me on bveroh@gmail.com. Thanks everyone for getting back to me!
HI!!! I am in my mid 20s and am very interested in doing the j1 thing next summer, i would love to go to san fran i have heard great things about it, chicago or hawaii would be great too!! i just have no idea where to start and would rather not go alone... wouldnt mind joining up with people if anyone is interested.... i would also most likely be heading out very late may or very early june as i have the whole exam thing too!!!
Hey. I was in chicago on a j1 last summer and it was fantastic! thinking of doing it again this year as I could maybe get my old job back straight away. I finish erasmus early in April so would be looking to go the earliest date possible which is the 20th of May. Not sure yet but might b heading out alone. Anyone interested in sharing its cathrionaspage@hotmail.com.We stayed in Wrigleyville last year which I would definitely recommend as it is where the cubs stadium is, all the irish bars and just a few doors down from us was the gay district which was alot of fun but among the locals it is known as one of the most expensive areas. If there are enough sharing though it's not bad rent wise.
Any of you who don't join up with a group, San Fran is great on your own. I went on my own when I was 19 and I'm heading back for a 3rd time this summer. San fran is more expensive for accommodation, but they have the highest minimum wage, and the people are really friendly - it's really esy to make friends with the Americans, I have loads that I go back to every year and two of them even came over for my birthday last year!
The girls in SAYIT were saying Chicago is looking really popular this year, but I'm just putting in my two cents - SF is amazing, and easily doable on your own.
Just booked Chicago with two friends (3 girls all 21/22) and we're hoping to share accommadation with a few others! I just set up a group anybody going to Chicago! http://www.facebook.com/groups/227801310639686/ ... I thoguth it might be useful for sorting accommodation and sharing any information on jobs and what not!!
Hey! Me and an mate, both 21 are looking to house share with people in Wrigleyvile. All our mates are broke. We are up for having fun in the sun with a lot of drinking, going out and having the craic! If you're interested in sharing just give me an e-mail.
