Voicebox: Editors' Picks

We are incredibly proud of the community we have built up on Voice, and the great range of content that gets published. You might not know this, but the team reads everything that gets uploaded to the website, even if we don't comment. And while we do have the ability to promote content to the homepage, it's all too soon before it gets replaced with another fantastic piece.
So, we have created a Voicebox where all the amazing content from our users can be forever memorialised. If we find something that we particularly enjoy, you can bet it's going to end up in this Voicebox and shared on social media!

Head above water
My grandpa hands me a pair of socks. Inside is a generous sum of money and a note saying, “When travelling, keep this in your socks. It will keep your head just above water in an emergency.” Flash forward a month and I find myself on a two day boat trip travelling down the Mekong River with no money, and no passport.
