Buddha spreads the love

Today is the start of my time off, I only have 6 more working days this month! And then my contract ends, I don't know what is next, maybe a renewal, volunteer work or .. I don't know. It is very exciting as it's a world full of opportunities.

I applied to a do a week of conservation work in Northern Ireland through the National Trust (Thanks Andy!) but they didn't have any spaces left for women on that particular project. I took it as a sign to just have a quiet month at home. Next month I'll be sharing my flat with 2 Australians so maybe I should save my energy and pennies for that.

It's that time of year, I'm being reminded that I am a traveller and have traveling friends, friendships come and then they move on to other exciting locations. This month I'll be waving good-bye to quite a few people and also saying Happy Travels to many more. It is a real test of my staying power!
When I went to India my good friend James lent me his Buddha to keep me safe and it worked well. So I gave my old flatmate Champ (aka Brian) a Buddha to accompany him through South America. The lucky deity is hanging out in Peru and soon heading home to Sunny Australia. Moral of the story ... be a great person, inspire the masses and they'll take you backpacking around the world for free?!?! Hahaha ...
