whimsical whispers






I was meant to be saving for Hong Kong in september.

Until i stumbled upon summer sales, and alas, my willpower dwindled.

I spent over £300 and I only just got paid.

On another note, have any of you ever volunteered abroad? I'm considering it, even though I haven't much funding for myself, never mind a £2000 volunteer trip. But I think it would be a really enlightening, eye opening experience. I need to travel more, and when I do, I want to be completely immersed in the culture of that country. I'd love to know your views on the topic.

p.s. I have a new header, I'm going to upload it tonight as soon as I get my scanner working...
p.s.s. Don't laugh at my drawing skills (or lack thereof) when I do upload the header. Okay, you can laugh, but not maliciously :)

i say go for it. it's one of a kind experience + you're helping someone in need. i'm planning to do the same as soon as i'm done with college. but it costs, that's for sure.

if you can stand children work as an aupair, accomodation paid for, food paid for, and if you get a good deal you will have enough time off and be emersed into the lifestyle properly. I did this in Italy 45 mins from Venice, loved it.x
