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"

I did it!!

… and at last they called me… Like, I hope :p, you already read in my previous post all my paperwork arrived and I was just waiting for them to call me for my first client, and so they did, yeap… the following day! They called me around 1130 and I was supposed to arrive at my first destination during the afternoon, that was two and a half hour away by train northeast from London! They don't usually call you with such a short notice, but because the snow many companions could not arrive at there destinations. After few minutes and a little explanation about who my first client was, I decided to take it, was going to happen sooner or later, so the moment had arrived. Luckily I had my suitcase almost ready, so I only had to add 3 or 4 things and off I went! The truth is that I was very nervous, wasn't expecting a beginning like that, but it could have been worse, no! Anyway, once at the station waiting for my train the head office called me again to offer me my following client! You can imagine my reaction, they had just called me two hours ago for my first assignment and now they where calling me to give me the second one, I was so surprised that the only thing I could say was: let me get through this one first and then we can talk again, right! The good thing was that I was only going to be with my first client for 5 days, so if it didn't work out, I knew I didn't have to stay for long. But the truth is that it did work and I felt very confident with her, she was great to me, she did things very easy for me, she helped me a lot with everything she could and had much patience with me. She said to me she had told the office how happy she was with me and that she would like me to go back in the future… so, I DID IT!

But of course, after 5 days my kidneys me were killing me, so I'll definitely have to go to the gym!

After those 5 days I returned to London and I stayed at Titos, but yesterday I came to my aunt and uncles in Guildford, here I can leave my things and come when I get some time off between clients, they have been great to me and I am very thankful, this helps me saving a lot of money!

Today I've been to town to open my bank account and to do some Xmas shopping… not much because I am "broke" hahahahaha…
