I'm so excited!
SieistaufgeregtvorderReise.
She's excited before the trip.
Grammar note
“Aufgeregt” literally comes from “sich aufregen” (to get worked up / agitated), so it covers both excited and nervous-excited — context decides which flavor the listener hears.
Common mistake
Don't assume “aufgeregt” is always purely positive like English “excited” — in context it can also lean toward “nervous” or “agitated”.
