      voidz There are a lot of orphanages that people pay to volunteer in, teaching children english etc. But the problem is that this is a business model for the orphanages who actually pay parents to keep their children in orphanages. I think its some crazy stat like 80% of children in orphanages have parents. The other problem is you have people with no teaching qualifications trying to teach,
      It is also not great for the children who have a revolving door of volunteers coming in and out of their lives. I travelled to Cambodia with uni last year and we worked with this NGO called This LIfe Cambodia who were big on campaigning against volunteering in orphanages.

    Jade I would definitely go to Venice, as although it is quite touristy, you can avoid that and it's simply too incredible to miss. Florence is also stunning, especially if you are interested in art (although I would still choose Venice, trust me you will not regret it!)

    I find it SO reassuring knowing that you managed to get such amazing grades whilst being at a regular state school because I've stayed at my own sixth form and considering my gcse grades, I've had a few people tell me I should have thought about going somewhere else but it really didn't feel like it was for me - it's good to know that following your gut can get you where you want to go!!

    • @UnJadedJade
      @UnJadedJade  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      yes yes YESSS!! Gahh, I wish I'd had someone to tell me this or just reassure me back when I was making decisions. ❤️ Alice, it really is all up to you. Yes, teachers matter. Sure, the school and what it facilitates matter too. But at the end of the day, your work ethic is everything in what you achieve!! Good luck xx

I have a lot of friends and family at Bristol Uni too- I 100% would have applied if this wasn't my home town :) (I'd prefer to move away for Uni but I'm going to miss it so much!!)

    Paris and Nice are both amazing! In Paris make use of the metro, it’s really handy. Good places to go are the arc de triomphe, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Norte Dame. As for Italy go to Verona! It’s so beautiful and if you’re interested in Shakespeare you can visit Juliet’s balcony and Shakespeare’s museum. Also in Italy go to Lake Garda. The villages and towns surrounding it are stunning and you can get to them all easily by boat. Plus the food there was unbelievable 😂

    Oooh that’s exciting! I went InterRailing a few years ago when I was 18 too! Our route was Paris to Brussels, to Berlin, Munch, Milan, then Rome. Flew home from Rome so we could make use of the pass and travel days while exploring France, Belgium, Germany and Italy. I’d deffo say get up super early and travel to somewhere that day then you have more time to explore when u arrive somewhere, hope you have the best time! Ps hostels are fab xx

    Hey Jade, I won a DiscoverEU pass and went solo interrailing around Europe for 3 weeks in August! It was amazing!
    The pass you get isn't limited to 4 countries, so dont feel restricted! I went to 6 (Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Austria, Germany and France). Just so long as you stick to the 7 travel days you'll be good :)
    I would highly reccomend Slovenia, it is so underated as a country! The people are lovely and the scenery is breathtaking. Try and go to Lake Bled if you can. It's in between Venice and Vienna so you could stop off on your way!
    I went to Paris and it was very pretty but personally I found it too touristy. Also around places like Sacre Couer and the Eiffel Tower, people are always trying to scam you which isnt very pleasant! So just a pre-warning.
    I hope this helps :)

Vienna is really pretty as well and if you got a bit more time, I suggest visiting Salzburg as well (not only because I live there, but because it is really stunning and not so full of tourists anymore in the autumn time). I'm excited to follow you on your journey! 😊

    @catherinebarrett2972 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I went interrailing for a month by myself this summer and it was honestly such a great experience. Whilst of course it is a very daunting thing and you can have the odd wobbly moment (completely normal and expected!) it was still an amazing trip and so worthwhile, so don't worry about it - mainland Europe is so beautiful! If you're heading to Austria I would totally recommend Salzburg, it was my absolute favourite place! And Innsbruck as well! Stunning scenery, chill city vibes, loads of accessible hillwalking, lovely food and even lovelier locals! Geneva and Luzern in Switzerland are also fantastic, although a bit expensive so may depend on your budget. But overall an awesome trip so I hope you have a great time!

I've been there 3 months ago and I fell in love and yes, it's touristic but it's worth it (but you have to know: even breathing is expensive in Venice). Good luck with everything

    ahh im so excited for you!! i just finished my gap year where i spent 2,5 months interrailing and im soo happy youre doing it! The time we spent wasn’t nearly enough time to see everything, but that’s a blessing, we’ll never run out of places to dream about! Nice is beautiful, city and provencial-beachy at the same time, along with small villages like Antibes and Ville France nearby! Amsterdam is just so special, and there’s a smaller town nearby called Leiden, which to me is the definiton of gezellig (such a great dutch word!! only word i know, but it goes a long way hehe), like a mini amsterdam with less tourists and poems on the walls. And all of italy is of course wonderful, i’m sure you’re gonna love it, and shares borders with Slovenia which in my opinion is so underrated! We went to Lake Bled and the capital Ljubljana (which is pictured on the ticket btw!). Switzerland, Vienna, Prague and Budapest were also awesome backpacking places! Ah i just want to recommend u to go everywhere, so just know that u can’t make a wrong choice here, you’re destined for exciting adventures either way!! Keep being you Jade, thank your for inspiring me!

    I went interrailing this summer and went to Venice and it is definitely worth going there!! It is touristy but due to the complexity of the streets, it's super easy to escape the busy areas. It's honestly incredibly beautiful, amazing to explore and unlike anywhere else. I would only recommend for staying for a couple of days though as there isn't all that much to do on the island. I also went to Rome and Amsterdam on my travels. Such an amazing experience and you are going to love it!!!

    Hi Jade, first of all, I wish you a fantastic gap year. It’s probably the best thing you can do to gain personal experiences. At least for me it was the best decision I’ve ever made.
    I just wanted to add, that I really appreciate that you talked about the issues of voluntourism. As a tourism student with a great interest in sustainable tourism, we focused a lot on this subject. I hope you’ll find a project where you can really make a difference.
    Have an exciting trip with your interrail pass. Traveling solo seems so scary in the beginning but it’s so worth it because you will meet amazing people and will learn so much about yourself.

    Hello Jade, very lovely to hear you're traveling this month! If you're visiting Italy and Austria you might as well stop and visit Slovenia. The country is very small therefore also calm, it's very green and the capital city Ljubljana is very chill. Hope to see see you in my country ❤️

      And yes, Bled is beautiful, you can reach it by train from Ljubljana; the capital city. I would even go with you, if you would like 😁
      Hope to see you 🤗 🌼

I definitely recommend Verona also murano, which is a stunning island famous for blowing glass! Brittany in France I would recommend it could be very relaxing if you wanted it to be or there’s a lot to do/ see if you didn’t want that! Wishing you all the best Xxx

    I hope all your hopes and dreams for this year come true.
    I did 11 months of volunteering in Malaysia in a dementia daycare centre and it was heaven and hell and it took a toll on my mental health, but I would do it again in the blink of an eye.
    Sadly it is the truth that we, as fairly young people, can't really make a difference and the thought that we should or have to is (in my opinion) very euro-centristic, but just going abroad for some time to get to know a different culture and meet knew people can be so incredibly beneficial for you and the people you meet alomg your journey!
    All the love for you :*

    Your basically going to have my dream gap year! I was lucky enough to go to Australia two years ago and I loved it. I would recommend stopping at port Stephens on the way up if you can. Gorgeous beaches and countryside. Also the blue mountains are stunning.
    Also my ideal place for a meet up would be either Cardiff or Bristol.

    • @ellienixon8971
      @ellienixon8971 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      This place is amazing! Normandy is such a beautiful place. The Mont-saint Michel is definitely a place to visit if you can! I loved my visit there and you could easily spend a full day or 2 shorter days there. France itself is beautiful (the parts I have seen are anyway!)

    I went Interrrailing in the summer and it was the best thing I've ever done! Nice is gorgeous - good choice! I also went to Verona which I would really recommend, it's beautiful and fairly cheap, you can also easily get to Lake Garda which is incredible. I went to Venice a few years ago and, although it IS touristy, September would be a good time to go as it's not high season, so I would definitely suggest doing a couple of nights there at least, it's so great to just explore and get lost in! Hope you have the best time!

    I was going to to interrailling (I don’t know how to spell it lol) this past summer with my mum and my step dad and I was so excited we’d literally planned what we were going to do :( but my mum passed away in January so I moved in full time with my dad and we weren’t able to go and she was really excited aswell so one day I want to go interralling in memory of her (she was actually vegan aswel) so when I go I want to be vegan for my travels (I’m only vegetarian right now) and that’s my plan because I think I’m going to take a gap year aswell :))
    Oh and I’m from Manchester I’d love if you did a meetup here!!

We often get so caught up in doing something that we forget to simply live. I admire you for taking time for yourself and others!

    As you're an English and French speaker and are looking for a long term voluntary project, I'd really recommend looking into volunteering with refugees in the Calais jungle, volunteers are in high demand and there is also an appeal for volunteer yoga teachers, which I'm sure you could help with. The guilty feminist podcast has a really good episode which interviewed volunteers and has lots of great resources (and is an amazing podcast all round, so why not listen to a few more episodes!?). Hope this helps, and enjoy your gap year!! xxx

    • @emilyclarke5964

      Hope Duncan I second that! I love the guilty feminist and she talks so much about Calais and literally just mentioned a terrible fire in a women’s centre there I think? I feel with Jade’s platform she could also raise awareness as well as doing work on the ground.
