well, i figure money will factor in to it at some point :) also, as much as i poke fun at them, I'd listen to (some of) what my parents are saying and steer clear of argentina, SA, etc (also because some of their stories freaked me out hehe)
But yeah! I was so happy when i found this website- because they seem to arrange so mcuh (=no hassle!!!)
Well, I told them all about RCS (embellished Chesna's stories a tad;P) a few months ago and convinced them then! so i'm applying for that (will stick to South because of the driveable thing), but with the overseas option, well, I've kind of harped on about it since the end of 2nd year, and we had a huge argument about Africa on our last holiday (my parents' best friends' son is a doctor now and he's really adventurous so did all these volunteer trips and random insane adventuring all through med school. this is REALLY GOOD as my parents trust him, and the aunty and uncle only had awesome things to tell!! Also they were totally rooting for me lol)
Main thing my parents have problems with are safety - because of fighting and whatnot and also HIV... which is fair enough... just need to convince them i'm responsible heh.

although the parental units might be more giving if you suggested a country/rural option - at least you'd be in drivable range!
