Nick sets off solo round South America
Our latest STA Explorer, Nick, is poised on the brink of a whole new world: tomorrow he heads off for a month and ten days of adventure as he travels round South America. Anyone will be able to track his thoughts, opinions and experiences on his blog, his Twitter feed, and other social media sites he’ll join as he goes, and it’ll be a particularly helpful record for anyone thinking of travelling alone, volunteering abroad, or joining any of STA Travel’s organised tours.
18 years old, and hoping to study History and International Relations in London on his return, Nick explains that:
I can be shy, but I’m really into grasping new oportunities and challenges, which is why I chose to go on this summer project and meet new people
He’s planning 3 weeks in Cusco teaching and building, before joining a Madventurer tour from Lima to La Paz. And as he’s currently volunteering at the Green & Away eco-camp before he leaves, Nick should have a great perspective on environmental issues as he travels.
His first post describes his time working in the camp, and the STA Explorers knees-up at which he met us last week. He’s eager to hear comments from any fellow STA travellers with questions, suggestions or just some friendly chat, so head over to his blog and join him virtually on his journey for the next couple of months!
