I may not have reached the goal of £1000 but thanks to a combination of factors (including decreasing flight ticket prices) I will still be able to go! And when I saw 'we did it' I mean not just economically, but Iceland tied Portugal 1-1 in the European football cup. That's such huge news, that even if I was out having Thai dinner during the game, I feel like I had to combine the amazing news.
I want to thank all those of contributed, whether economically, by sharing, or both. You have helped me raise a significant amount making this trip possible, and giving loads of people the chance to benefit from the work Mi Parque carries out, now with an extra hand for 3 weeks in August. I'm eternally thankful, and will be posting postcards, souvenirs and e-mails from Chile! Sponsors of over £30 will be mentioned in a more high-profile blog entry when I'm at a more exciting point.
Stay tight though, as I'm going to France for the European world cup, so goodness knows, I might write a travel entry from to my travel blog from there! I will also try to keep you updated on the development of my plans, since I haven't had as much time as I wanted to plan at all, and even less so to write about it. (5000 word dissertation draft submission, leaving my accommodation, and a broken computer is part of that....) So it's worth checking in every now and then!
As a thank you for now, a picture from my VERY heavy rainy day in St Andrews with my good friend Nadja, from the Cathedral ruins.
A BIG thank you all again!
