I'm writing this exactly three weeks before we are due to leave the familiar chilly climate of Sheffield. Just so you know, we are very excited! Lots of things are coming to an end now including jobs, gym contracts, car insurances etc and it seems a little strange realising how tied down/into things you actually are. FYI: companies do not like letting you out of said contracts early or for free! Anyway, jabs are done, flat is (almost) packed and we have 9 working days left. Wow...... read more

Well only 2 days to go and I feel like I've eaten blender. I have a very rumbly tummy and I've not had any dodgy food yet!!!! (notice the yet bit in there). Having just been to my development weekend, at a scout camp in East Dulwich, I now feel fully prepared for jungle conditions, leeches, dodgy food and 5 litres of water per day, if only I could get this little lot in my back pack.... read more

Hello everyone! Well its the night before I leave for Ghana so I thought I'd try my first blog! Naz I'm copying you on this one but I enjoyed reading yours so much that I thought I'd do my own! I'm not sure how I feel at the moment. I don't think I'm really scared or apprehensive but it hasn't really sunk in that I'm leaving tomorrow for a year! (Ok maybe I am a little bit scared!) For those of you who don't know exactly what I'm doing, I'm going to do 4 weeks physiotherapy volunteering in Ghana, 6 weeks in Zanzibar then I'm going to stay with my friend Daniela in South Africa for 10 days before I head to Oz to (hopefully) do some physio work for 5-6 months and traveling after.

Hello!! Only 4 days before I leave! The cakeathon this afternoon was really good, so much cake! Also, its good to know I've fed some poor deprived children something other than mush! It was really good to see everyone, and it's all starting to feel very real and close now. I've still got a few things to sort out, but am feeling fairly quite organised and calm which I'm quite surprised about. Only 2 days left at work which is strange, it seems like I've been there forever. Don't really know what else to put, I hope me doing this entry will make the mysterious world of blogging clearer to some people! Leah x ... read more
