Hi,
I'm Laura. I am 23 and work as an Assistant Psychologist in the UK.
I wanted to take a break from work to gain experience living and working in a different culture. So far, I have settled into my project at the centre for autism, and taken a number of trips to Agra and the Himalayas. Over the next few months, I will be travelling to Jaipur and taking a Tiger Safari as well as continuing to gain experience in the field of autism!

I've finally managed to get to a 'cyber-cafe'! It turns out that
there's one right near where I'm staying, so hopefully I'll be able to
get here quite often from now on.
So, where to start?! I arrived at Delhi
airport on Saturday lunchtime, after spending about 6 hours at
Heathrow! The queues were crazy because of the security...it took ages
just to get to the departure lounge.

It seems like ages since I sent my first email, although it was only 2
weeks ago! I've done so much since I've been here, and there's not time
to tell you all everything, so I'll try and give a brief summary! The
weekend before last was my first proper one here... I met up with two
other 'GapGuru' volunteers Hannah and Habibah. On the Sunday the three
of us hired a car (and driver!) and went to Agra for the day - home of
the Taj Mahal.

I have so much to fill you all in on - I'll try and be relatively brief
though! The weekend before last I went on a weekend trip to a hill
station called Mussoorie, with two other volunteers, Habibah and Reetu,
who are absolutely lovely, but are both going back to the UK this week.I
miss them already! Mussoorie was a beautiful place, with amazing views
of the Himalayas. Our driver was a bit of a weirdo, and would hardly
speak to us!
The first day in Mussoorie it poured with rain, and was freezing cold, which was so nice.
