Flying to Stockholm tomorrow morning.

I think I have lost what is left of my mind!

Hej! Jag har en bra I Sverige... (I hope that translates to: Hello!  I had a good time in Sweden)

Well the meeting with the volunteer agency was interesting to say the least.  The are literally hundreds of different placements, most of which offer training and free travel expenses.  The Volunteer's officer asked me about my interests and skills and came up with a few suggestions, which was really good, because I was stumped ( Read more... )
