Okay, so it's nothing official yet, seeing as I only found out about it a couple days ago, but I may have found the adventure I've been looking for. My mom is the guidance counsellor at my high school so she gets a lot of brochures and things promoting different schools or activities students can go to. Recently she got one about volunteering internationally during the summer. It's called Projects Abroad and I recommend checking out the site. There are a wide variety of things you could get into such as child care, community building, medical studies, archeology, journalism and my favourite: animal conservation! I looked through all the options and right now I'm deciding between going to Mexico for 2 weeks to help turtles hatch and make it into the sea, all the while getting daily spanish lessons or going for 2 weeks in Thailand to go diving and help with marine conservation. Both seem really really fun and exciting. I told my parents I wanted to go so they're considering it. It is quite a bit of money so I'll definitely have to chip in, but I think it would be worth it. I really want to do this, not just to go see an awesome new country, but to help out the animals as well. If you're interesting in helping out they're always looking for more volunteers and you can go any time you want, you just have to plan the date and location!
Adios amigos!
P.S. I've been having a really awesome day, so I decided to pass it along: DFTBA!!!
I didn't really know where to post this but it's just a short thank you. I really do appreciate your brief following of my blog and the support it showed. Good luck in life and DFTBA. Robin.
