My Travel Story

Hello All and Bless you for visiting this page.
My name is Ruby and I'm from Canterbury, Kent. I am currently in the third year of my history degree at canterbury christ church and I've decided to pursue the career of youth ministry worker. Before I start my course in September I feel that God is pulling me to go on pilgrimage to Rome.
Why do I need to do this:
Leaving the university will create a massive shock in terms of my mental health and independence. Travelling the ancient paths across Europe by camping and walking will provide me with the self-confidence, self-discipline and self-assurance that I feel that I need to do my career well. 

This will be a great cultural experience for me as well: understanding how to talk to different people, trying new foods, understanding the rich history of the Via Francigena.

What this money will go towards:
  1. funds for a safe place for me to sleep (most wild camping is illegal)
  2. food
  3. insurance
  4. ticket back home
Any donations are most welcome and thank you for your support.

Ruby :) xx
