Hey! My name is Natalia Kamppi (@nataliakamppi)

Today I had the amazing oppertunity to not only meet Mckenzie Comer, but to sit down, eat lunch and chat.

I started watching Mckenzies YouTube over a year ago and well, to put it simply, I was hooked. I watched all her videos and downloaded her music on iTunes and put them straight on my iPod.
A little later I saw that Mckenzie was calling a few of her lucky fans! I tweeted Carol (her mum) and asked if I could get a phonecall from Kenz, and suprisingly she said yes! I waited about half an hour and soon my mobile phone was ringing, I was shaking when I picked up the phone and said Hello. Mckenzie and I talked for around 5 minutes about anything that came into our heads and about where I was from and stuff. It was really cool! Soon we hung up and I was so excited. When I got to my friends house for a sleep over, I wouldnt shut up about the fact that THE Mckenzie Comer called ME.

Soon the video blog for the He's Just a Boy competiton was uploaded so I decided to enter, I filmed all day and then uploaded it. You can see the video at : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egLGgUFxkfY , I didnt win, but that was okay. All this time I had been tweeting Kenz and her mother back and forth and I brought up the idea that when I came to Queensland if I could meet Kenzie and hang out, her mum said that would be cool and to talk to her later when I had dates.
It took a few months, but the competition for the Last Goodbye Dance Mix came up, I entered again (watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyRvpGlq4xs&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL), and due to the lack of entries, everyone who entered got a signed MckenzieComer.com Koala :) So when that came in the mail I was pretty excited!

Finally my parents said that we would be going to Queensland for a family wedding in August so straight away I sent Carol an email telling her when I would be up and it took a few emails, and we had it sorted. On the 13th of August, Robina Town Centre, Forever New and 12pm we would be meeting and going for lunch! We flew up with my family from Canberra and spent a few days around town. Then it came to today.

I woke up and got ready, I was really excited about going. We had to leave at 11 because we had to drive from Brisbane to the Gold Coast. We got stuck in traffic so we were running a little late. I had butterflies going crazy in my stomach as we parked in the carpark . We had to try and find Forever New, we had never been here before so we got lost. I had to call Carol and they had to come find us because we couldnt find them! A few minutes later I saw Mckenzie, Carol and Rob walking towards us, I WAS SO NERVOUS.

Mckenzie came straight up and gave me a hug and a birthday card for my birthday on Thursday :) Our families met and then we walked down to a restaurant to have lunch. Kenz and I ordered her favourite - Salt and Pepper Squid, it was so good! Shes got me hooked! We talked about her career, how it all cam around, her new song 'Thats Just Me' and her new music video, Cody Simpson and everything! It was awesome, we got to just chill and chat it was really nice :) She said she would come preform at my school!

Mckenzie is the nicest person you will ever meet, she is so down to earth. She signed heaps of posters for us, signed this months Total Girl magazine because she is featured in it and she took heaps of photos with us we also got some of the MckenzieComer.com glowsticks :) Seriously, if you ever get to meet her, she is amazing. She gave me so many hugs! :)

Dream. Believe. Achieve.
