A new life
I used to work as a college lecturer in the north of England, running photography courses. It wasn’t a
bad job and I really liked my students, but I began to feel tired of doing the same thing every day.
11 x xx.

I’d always loved travelling, so one weekend I typed ‘international volunteering’ into an internet search
engine. At the top of the results page was the opportunity to go and stay on an island in the Indian
Ocean, thousands of miles away, and help to protect the beaches and the sea life. 12 x xx I had
some diving experience, and the more I talked about it, the more I wanted to do it. So I contacted the
organisation. One week later they offered to send me to the island and I accepted. 13 x xx After
all, the volunteer job was only for two months during the summer holidays. I thought after I’d finished,
I’d come home.

As soon as I got to the island, I was sure I’d done the right thing. My first dive was incredible.
14 x xx I felt so lucky to be able to experience that every day.

In fact I loved it so much that I never came home! I’ve now been on the island for ten years and I have
a permanent job. I’m working as a marine educator, teaching volunteers about the sea life and taking
them snorkelling and diving. My desk is a picnic table 10 metres from the best beach on the island. Of
course not everything about my new life is perfect. 15 x xx However, I can’t imagine going back
to my old life.
