Hi everyone! I’ve decided at the last minute to do some volunteering in Europe, and I’d like to head out in November. The problem is, I’ve been looking on Worldpackers but haven't found anything available on such short notice. If I download Workaway and set up a profile, do I have a chance of finding and getting accepted for a project starting in early November?
Hi everyone, I’m a young woman about to turn 25, and I need some advice. I think I’m going through a bit of a crisis regarding the passing of time. I didn't exactly have a carefree childhood; I always felt like I was carrying burdens that weren't mine to bear. Now, at nearly 25, I’m struggling with my mental health and want to become a different person. I dropped out of university and am now confused about the career path I want to build; I’m not sure if I should switch fields entirely, but I’m unsure which direction to take. I’m currently unemployed, though I do have some savings set aside. Right now, I want to travel but also build a career for myself. I feel like I’m falling behind, and I don’t have an older mentor to guide me—in fact, I never really have. I’m in therapy, but I want to completely turn my life around as quickly as possible. I also find myself comparing myself to others; I’m not in a relationship, and I feel like I’m losing my friendships. Do you have any advice? I feel very lost.
Hi everyone. Unfortunately, I’ve only just discovered a Master’s program that interests me, and I need a score of 6 to get in. I know I have very little time to prepare (5 days is hardly anything) but I have to do it. I think I’m at a B1 level, though I wouldn't say my English is particularly good—maybe below intermediate? I’m not sure. How can I prepare? If I’m not familiar with the topics in the writing section, how am I supposed to write a text about them? I’ll be taking the test from home on my computer, and I also need to get the results in time... I’m told they arrive within a maximum of 8 days. Is that reliable? Thanks for the answers
Ciao a tutti!! Come state? Spero bene. Avrei bisogno di un consiglio. Situazione: sono una ragazza e quest’anno farò 25 anni e la me del passato ha giurato che per l’occasione avrebbe fatto un viaggio da sola. Diciamo che il momento è perfetto perché non ho più un lavoro, ho dei soldi da parte e ho vissuto un brutto periodo e ho bisogno di trovare coraggio e uscire da questa bolla di negatività. Vorrei viaggiare sola e il mio sogno sarebbe di fare un viaggio per il Sud-est asiatico. Volevo partire a settembre e ritornare entro gennaio. Vorrei partire il prima possibile perché non voglio stare a casa senza fare nulla sprecando tempo e tornare a gennaio per dare degli esami e trovare un altro lavoro, però sono un po’ preoccupata per il tempo perché dovrebbe piovere pesantemente. Vorrei visitare Thailandia, Vietnam, Malesia, Indonesia, Cambogia, Laos. Li ho scritti in ordine casuale.. qualche consiglio sul meteo e sull’itinerario? Visitando questi posti mi piacerebbe anche fare del volontariato.
In alternativa ho pensato di andare solo in Indonesia, partendo ad Agosto/settembre (perché il tempo dovrebbe essere buono questo periodo) stare magari un mese e poi proseguire con la mia vita..avrò modo in futuro di farmi gli altri posti (spero). Grazie per l’ascolto e sono aperta a qualsiasi suggerimento da chi sicuramente ne sa qualcosa in più di me :)
Hi everyone! :) I need some advice. I’m a girl turning 25 this year, and I promised myself I’d celebrate my birthday by taking my first solo trip to Asia. I’m planning this a bit last-minute, but I’d like to visit Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. I’m still undecided about the Philippines (I’ve read that traveling there can be dangerous). Since it’s my first solo trip, I’d really like to do some volunteering as well (maybe through Worldpackers).
I want to leave in September and return in January, as I’ll need to get back to my studies and work after that. Is the weather bad during this time? I’ve done some research, and it looks like there might be quite a bit of rain. Could you suggest an itinerary, which places to visit first and which later? Also, are there any specific spots you’d recommend or advise against? Unfortunately, this is the only time I have available, and I really want to keep the promise I made to myself, despite feeling a bit scared. I’d also love to meet others who might be traveling during this period. Thanks so much!🫶🏻🌺
