So, in July I'm off to Thailand for a month to teach English to school children and monks with 'The Mirror Foundation' through an agency called IVHQ. This blog is for family, friends and anyone else who is interested to open my journal and read a diary of my thoughts, photos and experiences while I'm 12,626km away. I didn't want to be "that girl" on a 'gap yar' annoying everyone on Facebook with constant travel status' in a smug hipster way so I've got a blog so people can tune in/tune out instead.
It's going to be fun and challenging. The trip. But also using BlogSpot as I'm unbelievably bad with technology (when I say bad I mean last month I actually found out how to change the ringtone on the phone I've had for 2 years...). Right now I've got a pile of paperwork to get through- application forms, visa, passport, CRB, insurance, flights, medical checks and all the forms that go with university and student bank accounts...fun.
Thanks for coming along the ride with me. I promise the next post will be more interesting!
