Trips > Europe- to make my dream happen!

Today when I called my mother, the last thing I expected would be to hear her say that she is planning to go to italy next month and that this would be the time to go with her too! (although I have to pay my own way etc as she will be staying out in the countryside doing renovations) !! I dont have much saved, and not long to keep saving, but I have wanted to persue my dream for a long time now, and there's no backing out now!!!!! I believe that I can achieve my dream, and shine from the inside out at the same time :). eeeeeeeek! so excited!!! ..ok but now its time to start research... If anyone has any ideas/recommendations/contacts that they would like to share with me that would be awsome!!? I will need to research; -Budget accomodations/hostels or maybe share-houses etc? -back up income ie. teach english or au/pair work or something? -keep an eye out for sales on hotels possibly or apartments or travel/accomodation in milan -look into all the Modeling agencies in Milan for high fashion/runway/editorial models & maybe contact them? or find casting dates? or send digitals etc? - Check opening/closing dates for the Model agencies in europe / what dates is best to be in particular cities ie london etc. -Find out what the modeling industry is like over there and what type of things they expect / like models to have or wear or do for themselves etc?. do some agencies provide accomodation if I had talked to them etc and had been signed? - Model sizes etc preffered in Europe/ Milan . - Urban Model management liked me when they scouted here!
