Hustlin tourists, drunks, Arabs and drunk Arab toruists with one of these fuckin things. Did you really have to ask?

roach - what are your interests? what percentage of time working and what percentage traveling? what parts of the world interest you?

Humanitarian work is what I would love to get into, but I'm also interested in the English teaching overseas. I'm very interested in the Middle East but wouldn't mind working anywhere. My strongest work experience is unfortunately in a first-world office, although I did get experience as an on-call wildland firefighter last summer.

What kind of job do you want? What kind of post grad programme are you aiming for? and what kind of skills are those two places going to value? How is your year out teaching english / saving the world / travelling etc going to set you apart from other applicants when your form ends up on the desk along with hundreds of others.
You should consider how / what these kind of things look like on your CV and use them to do something which contributes to your longer term aims and which you can draw on during interviews. The whole rite of passage 'I went travelling to see the world' thing can be interpreted in many (and not always positive) ways.
