4 weeks to go...and plans are changing...

I'm getting PAID to travel the US of A! Yes that's right kiddies, I just landed my dream job!

You are looking at (or reading from) one of the new American Recruitment Coordinators for International Student Volunteers!!!! This is the company who changed my life when I travelled with them to Thailand last year to volunteer in Baan Talae Nork.




SO, I start with 3 days training in Sydney on the 15th of August which is perfect timing, cos I get to Aussie (Perth) on the 9th August. I then fly to California for 10 days training up in 'Big Bear resort' (How American?) and then get partnered off and sent out to Universities to convince the students to get on board with the programme.

The whole thing is so unreal, I cannot beleive I got the job, I know its going to be incredibly hard work but I'm SO up for the challenge and totally cool with getting it all paid for!

I also just realised I haven't said anything in here about where I am going!!

OK heres the list so far:

Thailand (1 month)

Laos (11 Days)

Vietnam (Just north, 5 days)

Hong Kong (5 Days)

Singapore (just one full day/night)

Perth (5 Days-ish)

Sydney (6days ish)

AMERICA! (12 weeks!)

That brings me to mid-November and then I'll see how much money I have to play with, maybe I'll go to the UK! :-)


Now I've just got a million more things to organise before I go...

And yes, I have already started packing...

How to pack my life into 10kgs?
