Hi Beffnee,

My name is Richard and I saw your post on "Which of these trips sounds best?" about your time in Africa, and was really hoping you could tell me a bit more about it!
I'm on a gap year at the moment and beginning to plan my travels for the rest of the year and your experiences sound like exactly what I had in mind.

I'd be very grateful for anything you have to tell me!
Some of the things I was particularly wondering about...
What was the community project like compared to the travelling? How did you organise it and who did you go with? Did you have a particular highlight? What sort of budget do you think I'll need for 6 weeks - 2 months of something similar?

Obviously the money depends a lot on what you do, I was just hoping for a rough figure. Some people have said Botswana etc. are really expensive countries without much justification - would you agree?

Happy holidays!

Best wishes,
Richard

Thanks for the link

What does your sig mean?

Your signature image made me lol so hard. Have some reps.

student kent room meet still going ahead? whats your face book so i can recognise?

At least you got through it, and even if it doesn't top any of your lists you can say you've read it! I enjoyed seeing Jane at school and see her have the chance to grow, I also did not see the crazy lady in the room coming either, let alone her dying at the end, (though I really wanted her too!) I was chuffed for her that she found some cousins, but did find sections of this whole bit really long and slow! I knew she would go back to see Mr Rochester, but I thought he would die after he saw her, I really didn't think it would be a proper love story! It was definitely cute, and she deserved it. Hehe I sound like a loveydovey weirdo, but I did think it was cute! I'm glad you got through it!

Hey I just wondered how you found Jane Eyre in the end? I finished it on hols and absolutely loved it. Admittedly there were a few 'slow' narrative areas, but otherwise, I found it really enjoyable! Hope it got better for you!

i don't even know their names yet lol! I might ask my land lady on weds if she can give me their email addresses so i can get to know them or their facebook profiles so i can stalk them! I know one of the guys is american but that doesnt really give me any indication of what hes like as a person. Ah thats kool, we should unite with all of our house mates and go for an epic drinking session (not that im a huge binge drinker or anything) i just want to actually enjoy myself this year

Ah i see. I'll be living in hales place too but i haven't met my housemates yet lol its on ulcombe gardens i believe (probably spelt it wrong as per usual). I've just had a look.. if this is true then im going to be extremely busy on mondays and thursdays lol the uni still hasnt registered two of my modules tho yet -_- they need to do it soon!

orite luvvvv? You living on campus @ kent this year?
