My travel explained After completing my A-Levels and not going to university, I decided to spend 9 months combining my passion for travel whilst working, living and volunteering in 3 different countries. Switzerland – 3 Months – Working at an International Centre for Guides and Scouts providing programme and completing domestic duties in the chalets. Belgium – 2 Months – Working for a travel company, as a resort representative for different groups. India – 3 and ½ Months – 2 months teaching English to children who didn/t have full access to education and one month travelling the West Coast.

Why travel? Why Travel? To make special memories. To make international friendships. To learn more about different cultures. To explore the world, to see different cultures. New experiences.

To conclude “Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever” Gandhi • Switzerland, a very developed country which was a place of beauty and tranquillity. As well as an impressive transport infrastructure. • Belgium, I lived in a forest on a campsite, which produced it’s own difficulties, like transport, food and internet! • India was a buzzing country where nothing ran to time but the happiness and spirituality of the country made it unique.
