you guys ever heard of this place Lourdes? (not fricken
Madonna's progeny 
)
well, once in a while, there's a pilgrimage there... loads of
people who are disabled or just really really old... so require
able-bodied people to go and help out for a week
so, the church will heavily subsidise people to go be volunteers
and will actually train them on how to do what... i'm almost
trained being a medic before...
so after a week of helping out, hey! i'm in the middle of France!!
in the middle of Europe!! with an open ticket home!
what's stopping me from plonking down cash for a Euro Rail Pass and
taking a couple of months to travel around Europe!
