The first official blog


Hi all!

Here's my first travel blog entry (and the photo is just for decoration!). I'm about 30 hours off flying out, about to repack my suitcase for the third time and making lists on a whole bunch of things I may have forgotten :) Feeling excited and nervous and a bit of everything, but really can't wait just to pull into Accra airport and arrive at the camp!

I'm not sure what my internet access will be like, but hoping to try and jump on once a week...so if you are keen to keep updated check this blog out everynow and then. Otherwise, gonna see how my email account goes and might try and get on facebook here and there as well :) If all else fails, I will be happy to use snail mail - email me your home address if you are keen for a letter or postcard at fraser.laura@gmail.com ! I won't be taking my mobile either.

Check out http://www.volunteer.org.nz/ghana/refugeecamp/ for some background on where I'm going.

If anyone knows how much shampoo a 19 yr old female will use in three months, please let me know, otherwise ciao everyone! See you in three months :)

I know you'll love your time in Ghana - the people there are lovely! I may have a slight chance of visiting you if i go over to Africa with World Vision for an internship and head to ghana for a little bit - outside chance, but a chance nonetheless. Will keep you posted, hope you are enjoying all that time on those long plane trips!

Love,
