Outward Bound Malaysia

So as I already said I have been chosen to do Outward Bound in Malaysia!!! This basically I will spend the next year working as a volunteer for Project Trust as an assistant instructor at the Outward Bound Malaysia School in Lumut which is...

It's situated on the west coast where the water front is used for kayaking, rafting and sailing as well as our morning swims! There is an island about 3km out from the centre and apparently the girls' room has views over it! The centre isn't actually in the town but 10km out from Lumut. Most of my work is going to be as an assistant instructor however I may become qualified by the end of the year! The sea is the backbone of the school so kayaking, sailing and rafting are the name of the game however there is also a lot of jungle trekking, climbing and team building as well! Once we get to the project we are doing a 25 day course as participants so we know what to expect before getting trained so we can do our job properly!

We get a fair few random holidays so I want to travel a good bit in Malaysia before venturing further afield to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam or Indonesia! Primarily I would love to get to Malaysia Borneo where there are more OB vols and teachers too, although I've heard there's a staff trip here anyway!!

For now selemat malam :)
