Ah, I see. I meant more along the lines of, how were you able to be in Europe for so long in just a tourist kind of position, hehe, since an American would have trouble managing it (Schengen for 3 mos, and the rest of Europe on a case-by-case basis! lol). ;P I figured with the saving and such, that either you left the job and got a new one later, or figured something else out - as you did. ^^

Oh no worries on when & what, that's entirely up to you! I think it'd be interesting to hear about the volunteer stuff, though, and I know I saw the occasional post on LJ asking about it, so I'm sure it'd be beneficial to people also. But yeah I mean, whatever you'd like to share, whether that's interesting stuff you saw/did, things/places you didn't enjoy as much, how you budgeted, etc etc, anything you want! ^_^
