The Journey Begins

So the letter did eventually come, a day later that expected though – everyone on facebook was discussing the most likely scenarios in which the progress had been halted by the ferries, or the weather or something – but on the Saturday it did come.

And I was selected!

Next year when I leave school, I will be going to Thailand to teach English for a whole 12 months!!

People keep asking me where exactly I will be going and what I will be doing, but we don’t get our final projects until January, well after all selection courses have finished. The general specification for Thailand, though, is to work in a largish secondary school in a towny-ish area. You also get a fair amount of holidays, so there are good travelling opportunities to be taken advantage of.

Until it gets closer though, I should really focus on my fundraising to be able to go, which is a massive £5600.

But it’s all part of the journey, and half of the challenge!
