What to do...so I'm thinking about my plans for next summer because I'll need to start saving depending on what I'm doing.
So I'll be going to Europe with Megan for 3-4 weeks, but I'm not sure what want to do after that. Here's what I'm thinking about (although ALL of this is based on how much money it costs and what I can save).
1- Just come home after Europe. That would leave me a long summer at home still--could visit people here in the states and just hang out.
2- Go volunteer with a program I'm looking at in either Kenya or Tanzania. Which would be fun to do something different--new people, new place, new experience.
3- Go back to South Africa for a couple weeks to visit people. This could be fun to see the few people still there and volunteer and just hang out. Although there's a chance it could be a disappointment because I'd be going back to something different you know? I have these memories and I'd not being going back to the same place I left behind...But my reasoning for going back so soon is because the kids that I know will still be there will still be young, close to how I left them you know? And I have this hope of course that I'll magically be able to see Lona...
4- Do both...after Europe go to Kenya or Tanzania, and then to South Africa. This would obviously cost the most and have me gone for the entire summer. So I don't know even know if that's a real possibility financially, but it's an idea.
I don't know. They all have their ups and downs.
