KJ,
It depends on your age, interests, and budget. For instance, missionary trips are always a possibility, as are youth exchange programs, teaching English as a second language, internships, archaeology digs, and many other venues. I would suggest contacting our State Department for some leads and information about international travel, an internet search for opportunities, and asking for ideas from people who are experts in the field you are interested in. This is definitely a kind of thing where thinking "outside the box" will help you fulfill your goals. Don't turn down any idea, no matter how crazy it might seem to you; you never know what might work!
Good luck and Bon Voyage!

I'M MOVING BUT THE GUY I LUV STILL LIVES HERE AND I AM MOVING TO CANADA BUT I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO? (link)

There is really only one choice for you to make. You must move with your Mom. If you don't, there will come a time when you will seriously regret not going. It may be hard to think of right now, but your mom will not always be here. Cherish your times together while you can.
As for your relationship with your guy, if he loves you too, and if two are right for each other, the time and distance will not damage the relationship. You have plenty of time to work on that as time goes on.
Good luck!

I have a friend that moved to Richmond. He says it's a waste of my money to visit her because there is absolutely nothin to do there. Does anyone live in Richmond, Virginia that knows this is true? (link)

Richmond, Virginia, is a fabulous town! The nightlife is incredible, the tourist attractions are fascinating, and the people are friendly. Plus it's close to other things to see and do. It's just a brief drive to Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens Theme Park, and the James River mansions. When concerts come to Richmond, the old opera house is an awesome place to go, and there are plenty of great bistros downtown to enjoy after the show.
Of course, the other thing to consider is...why on earth would they say it's a waste of time to come visit? If they're really a friend, you can find something to do anywhere you are and will be happy to enjoy each other's company. Think about your relationship before you invest in a trip.
Bon Voyage!

MY BEST FRIEND IS MOVING TO NEW YORK AND I AM ACROSS THE U.S. WHAT SHOULD I DO??? (link)
|
What a wonderful opportunity for you! Now you have a reason to visit New York and have a built in tour guide!
Do an internet search for information about where your friend is going. This serve several purposes: 1) It will help you feel not so far away from your friend; 2) It will give you a way to relate to your friend's new surroundings and be able to discuss things more intelligently with them about their new home; 3) It will help you plan your trip to visit them.
With e-mail and cheap phone rates, keeping in touch is easier than ever. Don't despair! This is just a change in your relationship with your friend, not an end to it.
Bon Voyage!

I am thinking of going to france, but I don't know french. I've heard french people are really mean about stuff like that. If my french isn't that good, will they be really mean to me? (link)

It depends on where you go. In Paris, for instance, they are so used to foreign travelers that they don't mind those who dont' speak French and can be very helpful. In the smaller villages outside the cities, it can be a bit different. If you don't try at all, they can be quite irritated. But if you make an attempt at speaking their language as much as possible, they are quite sympathetic and will go out of their way to be nice to you.
Taking a beginning French class before you go is a help. If you don't want to do that, at least invest in a good phrase book to take with you.
Bon Voyage!
