You're crazy :-D ....
However ive heard worse plans, i'd like to get out on my own too but currently my plans are limited to leaving the parental home since ive just started college. A close friend of mine is planning on leaving Glasgow too and i can see half my other friends going the same way or married in a few years so i guess when im done with this higher education nonsense it'll be time for me to ship off too, ideally i'd like to head to japan or china for a while but i fear the language barrier may be a big problem there. If its what you want to do, go for it. Do some research into taking your dog with you too. The only problem i can see with the US is that their chav's have guns :/
P.S Im probably missing some punctuation, feel free to insert your own.
