I am back in the UK for a while, catching up with family and friends and deciding what to do whilst waiting for my visa appeal to be processed.
I read on line a while ago that it could take 16months, which is a bit of a drag.
Considering getting a job, but helpexchange keeps on tugging. Have just found a ski chalet that needs help in the New Year, so may well be back off to france for a while. Unless, of course, something else turns up to tickle my fancy. It is strange planning my life in such small chunks. I am enjoying the journey and having great fun.
It is amazing what can be packed into a year, or a rucksack for that matter. Have a scroll down the posts and see what I have been up to. If you want to know more, leave a comment and I'll get back to you, or if you know me you could even give me a call.
Thanks for visiting and reading, whether it be avidly or occasionally, you may even just check out the photos. I don't mind, it's just nice to see you here sometime. enjoy what you do, look after yourselves and travel safely.
Cheers
SAM

Hi Sam, I wonder if I could pick your brains about helpx which I've just joined. Like yourself I'm a gardener and as there's no work in the uk in the winter helpex seems like a good way of working somewhere warm - not to make money but for something to do rather than being stuck in england in the winter. I've been to australia in our winter 3 times now and traveled around but my understanding was you're not allowed to work there even voluntarily (unless you've got a backpackers visa which I can't get as I'm 52!). In fact the first time I went I was grilled by immigration who were convinced I must be coming to work. The information on the helpx website is a bit vague so any pointers regarding the legal aspects of voluntary work in aus/nz/usa would be very welcome.
Cheers, Simon
