a) makin' friends, b) new interests

Can I just say I adore (almost) every single friend I've made while volunteering? Wether they were volunteers as well or 'locals', they are all fantastic.

With the World Cup going on, there've been some great back-n-forth emails about whose country is trouncing who - having made friends from the UK, Japan, Italy, Hong Kong and Honduras, there's much fun to be had. Even if we haven't been in touch for ages, it's easy to pick up where we left off and continue our good-natured banter.

Making new friends from around the world is one of the best things about volunteering overseas.

Developing new interests (football aka soccer was never my thing here in the States, but I now appreciate it as the beautiful game) is also high on the list of cool things gained from volunteering somewhere else. I'm hoping I get back to the UK in time for rugby season! (If I could only remember the difference between Union and League rugby)

- I'm asking all to keep their fingers crossed that I get good news about my volunteering position on Monday...
