Hello!

My first entry, how exciting!

Resently I have spent all my time on the computer! Since I have heard that I can have my gap year I have been non-stop googling, list making and planing. I think I now have a rough plan so hopefully it has paid off!

In September I will be getting ready for the rest of my year, and walking 145 miles from Winchester to Canterbury!

In October I will, hopefully, we heading out to New Zealand for a six month au pair position! I am so excited about living in another country for half a year and exploring New Zealand!

In April I will be coming home for a bit (I guess 2 weeks) and this is where the year starts getting a little hazy as there are so many things I want to be doing and not enough time in one year! Plus there is the slight issue of money! At the moment the idea is to go out to Zimbabwe for 1 month to volunteer at a school and teach English.

I will return home for another couple of weeks and then I will, hopefully, be off on a 2 month trip around South America! I would be traveling around Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Equador! There are a couple of slight problems, the main one being that I don't speak a word of Spanish! But I'm sure I can work something out!

Then back home before going off to uni at the end of September!

So that is the years plan, lets see how much of this is what happens and how much changes as I go along!
