About Me

Hola!
Me llamo Sophie. That's about all the Spanish I know so far, but hopefully by the time I leave for Central America in September I will be a little more confident! I am going to Honduras for two months for the Building Projects in La Esperanza, and then I will be making my way down through Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama during November.

I live in Adelaide, South Australia and I have never been overseas before, so going away for three months to countries where I'm not a native language speaker should prove to be a very interesting experience....... Can't wait!

Hiya
Hope you don't mind but I'm shamelessly begging for votes as the closing date for voting is fast approaching (in 5th place right now!) and SO many people seem to not be able to vote I need extra extra votes!!

This competition literally means everything to me. I'm now truly beginning to discover who I am, and find the path I need to be on. Winning this trip of a lifetime, one that from a financial point of view I cannot ever really seeing myself being able to afford, would literally change my life, shake up my world and give me another perspective. I beg of you to vote for me more than any other competitor, because not only would I use up every single second of it to the nth degree and make the absolute most of it, I think it would make the most of me. A way to make new connections, spark new possibilities, and give light and hope. A trip to expand and explore, my location and my own mind. A trip. Of a lifetime. PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!

Hi Angie! I´m heaps sorry - I wasn´t sure which 'angie' you were on FB - do you have a friend called Megan Leen? Because if so I can add you :-) How are you going? I´m going to send you an e-mail right now, so bear with me while I get used to this spanish keyboard! xoxo Sophie

Hey, where have u been?! ;) add me on facebook! angie mcmillan with no profile picture. my e-mail is angela.mcmillan@hotmail.com if you can´t find me use that to find me xx

Not sure i have had enough time to really asses what has shocked me hat i had not considered yet? but i would say that clothes wise i think i brought too muuch as you can buy cheaply and washing facilities are really good. the people are really freindly oh i just thought one of the other girls suffers with travel sickness so even if you are only a little bit then bring tablets as the roads are really bumpy??? take chat more soon P

haha yeah some of it terrifies me coz it's also the first time I'm getting away all by myself and I think 3 months could turn out to be quite long! (lol, when I first booked I thought it would be too short and wanted a 6-month placement). I booked impulsively at the end of February, just coz I felt like somethin diff as well. and I also love the Spanish culture and community, and the sights to see in South America - so natural and exotic! So r u at Adelaide Uni? I'm a 2nd year student there, and am just taken a 6-month leave of absence before going back next year :) we must keep in touch! and chat about how everything goes. we could even go for coffee sometime at uni or somethin and compare notes :)

hola shopiem well i am here in honduras and it is going well long time travelling so just cathing up on restm i will be on CR late september begibg of october? chat soon

Paul

Hey! I'm also living and studying in Adelaide :) Going to Costa Rica at the end of August and staying there till 15th of November. when dya think you'll be there? How u feeling about the trip?

Hola Sophie, i am off to honduras next thursday and really am getting excited now, hope to see you out there or at least exchange e mails.

Hope you are excited and that all your plans are coming together nicely?

Take care

Paul

Hey there, thanks for the good wishes. i'm due to fly back to the U.K in in early october but m seriously considering just carrying on traveling for a good while longer, so I may wel still be in the area at that time, Let me know your plans and i'l let you know when i decide on a sensible life of work and boredom or a life with my backpack.........no competition really is there?

Hiya Sophie, It seems like we are doing similar things i have never been to latin america before so like you i am a little nervous but also very excited. i been trying to learn spanish for the last three months i listen to my IPod on the way to and from work which is great for speaking and getting the pronunciation right but i could not read any spanish ^_^ it will be great to catch up with your news how to chat some more soon.

Paul
