life changes
July 1st, 2008Life is good.
This week I am officially a bum again. Last week I picked up a week of temping work typing up mental patients notes with details of their medication and symptoms. Some of the things I read were shocking, too shocking to say here. And some people are on a whole cocktail of drugs each day which is sad.
As we all know, life can change in a second. I have decided I did not want to spend another christmas in miserable Scotland weather. So after the festival in August (cant wait!) I am going to move before winter kicks in again. I am not sure where or what yet. It also depends on the french boy and his job.
In the meantime, I am thinking seriously about doing some meaningful travel. Like teaching english to children in Africa for a month or working with AIDS orphaned children in the community. Volunteering is expensive, so I have to figure out how I could actually fund it. Maybe fundraising of some sort. So many dreams, not enough time.
My good friend/travelling buddy Alley (who has featured alot in my blog in the last 6 months) has left to live in Munich, Germany and am happy for her. We have had such a great time travelling together for the past 6 months or so and it was the best spontaneous decision we ever made travelling together. She is a star. Ciao bella. x

Do you ever wonder that perhaps it is time to ’settle down’ as so many people say? I want to just float around the world - which is what you seem to be doing so carefree - but just don’t have the funds to do it anymore. love love love travel! And teaching English would be amazing. I want to do this too
