The journey begins...almost

I am leaving the UK in 3 days to embark on a 5 month adventure to South America and I am nervous, excited, scared, apprehensive...and many other adjectives that I can't even think of right now!
First stop will be the city of Arequipa in Southern Peru where I will be teaching 3rd grade students for 10 weeks. Then I have 2 weeks travelling. After that I fly up to Quito in Ecuador where I meet my next project which is 5 weeks conservation in the Amazon rainforest. Finally I have left 3 and a half weeks travelling at the end of that for doing whatever I feel like. Both of my projects have been organised by the company GVI, who so far have been extremely helpful in preparing me for my trip.
I am busy trying to do last minute shopping and seeing all my friends before I leave. Not entirely sure if everything is going to fit into my pack but I'm going to try!
