I've started other blogs before and never finished them cause at first I would write a trip diary with the idea of converting it into a blog later on, too much work! So in this occasion I've decided to do things right, besides, I will also be contributing with the environment (I know my volunteer folks will appreciate this!) I wasn't sure, either, if I had to start with it now that I'm going to UK cause it wasn't exactly the beginning of a trip, but after a lot of thinking, it is... I'll be spending the next months travelling around UK almost like a backpacker while I work and help others!!! So it is the beginning of "the" trip, which started months ago, but I've been thinking on this moment for yeeaaaarrrssss! A extreme "start over"

Ibiza 2 UK

Why I decided to make this move?! Why something so radically different to what I have always done?! Well, it all started right after my last trip to Asia (not bearing in mind that I’ve been dreaming and wishing for something like this for a long time) The return to rutinary reality after 2 and a half months travelling around countrys like Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan, Indonisia… become really difficult, it was impossible to get back home not having changed even a bit! And that was my case, I decided it was time to make the big move and start changing my life style and what better way than travelling?! Initial Project?! A World trip! The problem was money, as always. But I have made the decision that nothing would stop me. So I started looking for jobs that would allow me to save as much and spend the less money as possible, with accommodation and expenses included. At first I thought of fruit picking in UK, cause it’s closer and I did not need a Visa, but winter it’s not the right time! Cause I had made up my mind, a new that something would turn up and that it’s so what it happened! Searching and searching on the web I suddenly bumped into a series of companies which provide of personal care assistance to spine injured people. At first I dismissed the idea, due to my ignorance of the subject, but I started looking for information regarding one company in particular (Active Assistance: http://www.activeassistance.com/) and then the idea became more and more interesting. Helping people like me, with the same concern and dreams but with physical limitations, what a better way of starting a project that originally was going to be dedicated, in part, to voluntereen and at the same time earn good money!?
