Merry Christmas everyone!
We know it has been a little while since our last post, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you :) but that means we have a little bit to say...
Firstly...our flights are booked! YAY!
We’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple of months talking to different people, learning from their experiences, investigating options through travel agents and A LOT of time on hold directly with airlines!! All so we could try and find out what would be the best way to get our tickets booked to minimise our costs. It’s done and paid for now, all official, and we will be flying out of Australia on April 16th 2015!
In the past week we have also booked into Bridge 2015, a conference run by the European Freedom Network (EFN) of which Abolishion is a member. EFN is all about providing a bridge to freedom for those exploited by human trafficking &/or sexual exploitation. The conference is our first stop and we will spend our first week at the conference in Bucharest before we travel to Oradea to meet up with Leanne, the CEO and Founder of Abolishion.
We’ve also recently started Romanian language lessons (we’ve had 2 so far). We have a great teacher, Gabi, who we Skype with once a week. Some of the sounds will take a little while to master and we both need a lot of practice rolling our r’s! We’re both really enjoying it and Gabi thinks Tim may even be able to pass for a Romanian by the time we get there!
It’s been an especially busy end to the year and we are looking forward to a couple of well earned weeks of rest by the beach!
Lastly, we’d like to send out a ‘save the date’ for Sunday February 22nd 2015. We will be hosting an information event in the afternoon where we will be able to give some more detailed information about what we will be doing in Romania. Leanne Rhodes, the CEO and Founder of Abolishion will be in the country and speaking about our part to play in Abolishion next year. Details will be coming out soon via the blog and also on Facebook, so please let us know if you will be coming and feel free to share it with anyone you think may be interested.
We hope you all have a really great Christmas and New Years!
Love Shell & Tim :)
