My name is Shannon and in February 2013 I will be travelling to Guyana as a volunteer through Cuso International. Working with a local organization as a Vocational Training Advisor-Training, I will be able to use my background in international development, human rights and employment training to develop materials to transition youth from school to the workforce.

Travelling for Travel's Sake 
Amazing blog! Amazing work 🙂
Thanks so much!
Hi Shannon,
My name is KC Owens, I’m a college student and I love to travel! While cruising the Internet, I found your site and really enjoyed reading your posts. I have been to countries all over Europe with just my backpack and a camera. Since I am a college student and I have significant bills, it can be difficult to find ways to travel the world. However, I have done this several times, with less than ten pounds of luggage and while on a college dime!
I was hoping that you would allow me to write a post for your site to share my tips and tricks with your readers. I put a lot of time into my traveling, it is my biggest passion and I would love to inspire others by sharing my stories, mistakes and triumphs. I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
KC Owens
Hi KC,
Thanks for the interest, but right now I’m keeping my blog as a record of my own experiences. Perhaps some time in the future I’ll open it up for guest bloggers.
Best of luck with your travels, and you’ll have to look me up if you ever make it to South America!
Cheers..
Shannon
Hi Shannon,
As someone currently considering a similar volunteer experience with CUSO, I was hoping to get in touch with you to get some more insight. Let me know if you’d be willing to connect via email :).
Definitely! 🙂
Hi Shannon,
My name is Sara and I work as a researcher at the University of Milan, at the faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences. I’m now writing a manual about cashew nut cultivation for smallholder farmers. I’m writing you to ask you if I can use some of your pictures about cashew roasting, they are the best I’ve found looking on internet. if you agree, I’ll quote your blog near each photo.
Thanks
Best Regards
Sara
Sure, Sara. Thanks for asking. I would love to see what you’ve written when it’s finished, if possible. 🙂
