Smaller Earth UK There are any number of reasons for wanting to take a gap year: perhaps you aren’t ready to progress straight from one course of education into the next, or maybe you’d just like to experience something a little more adventurous before settling into a full time career path.

Smaller Earth offer a wide range of gap year programs designed to find you work opportunities overseas that will be rewarding, memorable and perhaps even life changing! Whether you’d like to live with a host family as an au pair in China to experience a completely different way of life or you fancy rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into demanding physical work in the Australian outback, or even if you just fancy an incredible summer job abroad. Smaller Earth can offer you the work abroad opportunity that’s right for you.
233 Ways to Make Money Many of our customers are entrepreneurs. In this post, I thought I’d try to light the entrepreneurial fire under some of our other readers by publishing the world’s longest list of ways to make money. I aimed to include as many ways to make money that don’t require special training as possible (and I’ll add to the list over time so bookmark it now). Without further ado, the list… Update (April 20, 2011): We’ve grown considerably over the last few months and, accordingly, it’s time to scale our transcription team. Update (December 2, 2010): If you’re interested in this list of ways to make money, you might also be interested in our list of 277 ways to save money.
Volunteer on a community project in Granada, Spain. We live on a 3-hectare land in the province of Granada (Spain) and have a "big" project : to adapt our life in order to be able to: - satisfy ourselves to a maximum of our needs (mainly those of energy and food); - minimise our impact on the environment; - have time to evolve in a responsible way and help others. We'd love to meet people interested in permaculture and in the idea of living well, while respecting the social and natural environment. To reach our goal, we have started living simply, dividing our time in: - agricultural and technical activities (to have healthy food, depend more on our work than on the economic system) - social activities (good-quality social relations, have time for the others) - intellectual activities (continuous learning and exchange of knowledge) Finding a place to live. Self-building our house. Sharing experience. The arrangement of the land in order to have a garden, diversify the vegetation and raise animals. Local exchanges. Thanks in advance!

How To Pack a Carry-On Like a Boss If you thought my Type-A agenda planning was bordering on madness, you may be even more concerned with the way I pack a suitcase. But ohemgee, this kind of thing gets me completely high. On tour, I was the one designated to pack our gear into the trailer. When packing for BlogHer ’12, I knew I’d have a lot of stuff to bring along. But airlines have lost my baggage before, and I really cannot imagine surviving NYC with NO clothes and NONE of my blog swag to hand out. Thinking about this made me decide that come hell or high water, my clothes and swag were going in a carry-on. I saw a great slide show from the NYT Business section showing “10 Days in a Carry-On” and it’s a GREAT one. So here’s my show and tell! 7 Bottoms: 4 pairs of shorts2 Skirts1 pair of Jeans 8 Tops: 6 shirts2 Cardigans 3 Pairs of Shoes: Strappy healsGladiator-style sandalsFlip-flops 2 Pajamas 1 pretty nighty1 cami/capri set Unmentionables 9 pairs of underwear4 bras1 tank with built-in bra Accessories 3 BeltsJewelry Personal Care
