That's a pretty good offer for some guidance but I think that there is something special about finding your first galaxy yourself.
If at all possible, I'd seek out somewhere (preferably dark but not essential) with a northern view around 10pm.
The stars of the 'square of Pegasus' are nice and bright and you can follow them down to the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Once you've found that, there's a line of stars to the Triangulum Galaxy (M33).
Print yourself a chart to take with you or use a planetarium program on your phone to identify the square.
Good luck and have fun.
Steve.
