I am all packed up and ready to go, but have blatantly forgotten something important even after triple checking all my bags. My backpack ways far too much for me to carry and my hand luggage is full to the brim. I am hoping someone will help me out on the other side and from my experience they will, especially when they know that we have the British pound in my back pocket.
What will I miss most about home:
Mum, Dad, Munch, Dil, Dhru, Martina, Zareen and many other people, food (non-veg), Soca, dinners out, chilling in the park and the booze!
What am I looking forward to most:
The clean air in the mountains, working with the children, seeing the Taj Mahal again, and experiencing life in India, on my own, without the comforts and support that I have been used to previously when I have visited India. As many of you know, it will be a challenge for me but I will get through it and hopefully become a better person out of it.
There are plenty of things which I am not looking forward to but I won't dwell on that as I will relay all that happens when I am over there. The best thing for me to do is to go there without any expectation and I will be fine.

I am off in less than 6 days and yet still feel extremely overwhelmed by how much I have to do.
Get waterproofs, walking shoes, backpack, sleeping bag, string, change money, pack and most importantly see friends and family.
The point of this trip is for me to go to India and volunteer completely selflessly, yet the week before I leave I find myself being the most selfish I have ever been before. I want the people I care about most to miss me as I will miss them (and I want to know that).
This year has been full of extremes and this trip will be no different. I look forward to letting you lovely people know about my experiences and stories.
