 Hey
I'm Jay im 19 and from the Isle of Man!
This is short summery of my adventures to the South Pacific country of Tuvalu as a Scout Ambassador for the UK Scout Association working for and supporting the Scouts of Tuvalu.
This is going to be the biggest challenge of my life so far. I want to share the experience with as many people as possible so if you interested keep up to date here.
Tuvalu is one of the most remote civilisations in the world, being the forth smallest interdependent nation. During my trip I will travel roughly 9,425 miles stopping off in London, Seoul, Australia, Fiji and eventually getting to Funafuti around the 10th of November.
