One of my latest challanges has been counting out the pennies (and it is pennies not pounds!) to work out how much money I have, how much I need and how I will get it.
As I was about to consider trying to be an exotic dancer ( no joke) in south london, han came across this amazing website.....

The basics of it mean that you pay 20 euros for a 2 year subscription which allows you to see a list of people and families willing to give you free accomadation and meals in return for work. usually at their home, 4 hours a day....it covers australia, new zealand, europe, canada and the USA. an amzing idea and also very practical.
There is a range of families, cities, types of accomadation and types of work. one of my personal favourites was helping a man (tanned and built if you must know in his picture) clean his boat in sydney harbour - i think i could stretch to cleaning a boat in the permenant sun and boat shoes!
A perfect way to save money and see the area from a local perspective and no sharing a youth hostel with 10 smelly gap year boys. time to put away the exotic dancer application i think.......

The time has come to go out and see the world.So i will be documenting the build up, travelling and all the excitment along the way!
