Hello^_^ I'd like to give a little advice for you introduction and such. The first bit, はじめまして, is fine^_^ After that though, it seems a little clunky in Japanese to *literally* say "my name is..." so it would be better to say "アマンダと申します(もうします)". (What I wrote in parenthesis is the hiragana for that last word.) The next couple of lines are fine, though you could combine them instead of saying such short sentences.
Now, that sentence you were worried about is indeed wrong, but really it's just 'cause the order needs to be a little better. I would say "来年私は日本に行き ます". The important part here is that you get "nihon" to match up with "ni ikimasu" without getting that extra wa in there.
Also, just in general, Japanese doesn't have spaces like in English when you get to writing in kanji and everything. So all of your spaces between words should go away (like how you wrote your last couple of sentences.)
I hope that helped^_^ I've been learning Japanese for about 5 years now, so I'm pretty confident that what I said is correct. Good luck with your trip to Japan!
