I’m saving up now and want to start next year… what I’m going to do is start in london and then go anywhere and everywhere I want to for as long as I want to. I’ll probably work a little bit at the places where I stay a while(so I’m not just spending money), but I figure I’m young… no kids, no husband…why not!

I had been wanting to volunteer in Africa since I was 17, and now 3 years later I have completed it…or hopefully just started a life time of helping… I went to Knysna S. Africa for 3 weeks (wish it could have been more) and helped in various places in the township. We all different things from painting playgrounds at pre-schools to taking street kids to the wetlands and teaching them about it. I thought it was an amazing experience and definately havn’t given the trip justice in this little paragraph, but anyone thinking about doing it, JUST GO! Find a good organization and enjoy!

I want to walk across america, starting at my home here in Charlotte, NC and walk to San Fransico CA. I really only want to do this one other person. I’m going to have people pledge money for every mile that I walk and donate it to HIV/AIDS awarness and prevention… I figure if all I have to is walk to raise money, I might as well because I’m gonna walk anyways. I originaly thought of walking across america because I want to do something different, get away from charlotte and just go out and explore, I want an adventure.
