Back in the UK

I got back to the UK last month and boy is it good to be home! I learned a lot from my time in Peru, much of which I am still processing. I apologise that things have been a bit quiet of late, especially regarding what I was actually doing, and I will try and fill things in retrospectively.

The main problem is that my volunteering experience in Peru was a *very* challenging time and if I'm being honest, wasn't really all I had hoped for or expected. Still, I think that it is important to write about these experiences as this blog is to give other people a flavour of overseas volunteering and unfortunately these aren't always positive experiences.

Now that I'm back in the UK I don't have to worry about burning any bridges with CIESCU and so will be going into more specific details soon. However, I still have one or two things outstanding with 2wayDevelopment, the organisation that set up my placement, and would like to resolve these issues before writing about them.

More to follow soon....
