I'm thinking I want to volunteer next year for a few months. Why is it so darn expensive. I have been thinking about it for a while, and this time next year I will have no monthly debt repayments so i don't need to earn an income. I caught an episode of Oprah the other morning and there was a story by a lady from India who when she was young was sold into slavery and it made me think about volunteering in India. I'd also be happy to do anything, from teaching to building to farming. But I have one question: why is it so expensive?!
I mean, it's cheaper to go travelling which I am now thinking is a better option, then maybe along the way I can help out somewhere. To me it is non-sensical. I understand there are costs to be covered, and I am of course happy to pay visa, flights, rent, administrative costs, but I refuse to pay a weekly sum to volunteer. Does that make me a bad person?
I'm so freakin' hungover I really can't be arsed to write anything else. I've got the shakes, none of my limbs seem to be functioning and I'm so so so tired.
