First time blogging....

I'm new to this, which is slightly embarassing considering how long the internet has been around. But to be honest, I've never had anything that interesting to share with people. My almost-adult life has so far been filled with the usual combination of university, work and vacations. A few major dramas here and there, but no real adventures.

But all that is going to change. I'm leaving for South Africa in a few months time. In complete contrast to the brains sliding down the drains of Africa and landing in the UK, I'm heading back there in the hope of doing some volunteer work. If I'm lucky, I might even manage to land myself a job. Who knows - as I keep saying to all my friends and family who look at me with a dumbstruck look on their face when I tell them what my plans are "I'm just going to see how things go......"
