So I am practically ready for my departure to Denmark; at least I now have payed off the enrollment fee, booked the flight and coach tickets, and have also purchased some necessities (for which I like to thank my mother for!). All I have to do is pack everything which no doubt I shall do the day before I depart.
For those who are still wondering what it is that I am doing, I am enrolling on a course that trains its students to become teachers. Although, not everyone necessarily wants to become a teacher; they may be enrolling just for the experience. As for me? Not sure. I guess it's mainly for the experience for now. As I elaborated in my previous blog post (which you can read here ), this isn't a conventional course where we study in classrooms and have teachers lecture us on topics. We will be doing a lot of travelling around Europe and Africa and it is up to us how we go about our studies; the teachers are more like facilitators who help manage us, challenge us and motivate us.
I now know of the work I'll be doing during my "saving up period" (again, you can read about it on my previous blog post). I shall be working in Munster, Germany, driving a van, collecting clothes from bins and packing them in to a shipping container, with a chap who attended the same prep weekend as me called Honza. Sounds like hard work, but it'll be interesting working in a German city for some time. And we'll be working towards something worthwhile next year: driving a bus through Europe to western Africa for four months! So no doubt that'll keep us motivated. Speaking of the bus, seeing as I have a driving license, I think I'll be opting for a bus licence while I am abroad, which is a nice bonus and will also benefit me in the UK in the future.
So, I just wanted to keep anyone who's interested about my travels updated. Suffice to say, I can't bloody wait! Not sure how long I'll be in Denmark for before we set off to Munster, but I'll certainly keep people posted when I have internet access.
By the way, if this program sounds like something you may be interested in doing too, then be sure to give this website a thorough read for more information. I know we're starting to look for more people to join our team in 2015. Ciao for now.
