Travelling bug

Hey, my names Jonathan and have always wanted to travel. I come from a small town just outside Scotlands biggest city, Glasgow. I'm only 19 but have been to quite a few destinations although all with my family.

During my first year at university (which has just finished) a group called the International Student Volunteers came into a few lectures and told us about their organisation; basically telling us that we get to go to a far away country for at least a month, do two weeks volunteer work and two weeks outdoor adventure, all for a reduced price.

I was sold! I got a leaflet and saw New Zealand, and instantly knew that I wanted to go as I've always had a craving to go. As this is my first time travelling such a distance myself, and doing any kind of volunteer work, I have no idea what to expect. But from what people have told me of their own experiences it's something that I'm looking forward to.

So here's hoping that this is the start of the travelling/volunteer bug giving me a big bite on the arm!
