The last few weeks. The last few weeks I've been working a lot, and I'm still doing so. Since two weeks ago I'm working also in a call-center in the evening, which means that I'm making very long days. I leave home around 8:15 and I'm back around 22:00-22:30. Only during the weekends I have some time off to do other things, go to the city, visit family, go out, fly online on IVAO ;) etc. I've spent too much money during my last few weeks in Holland, which means that I'll really have to live really cheap during these ... read more

привет, хороший день !!! This is a long entry, with 34 photos! First I'll write about my last 3 days in Croatia: I spent the Sunday afternoon at Polari camping around the pool because I was invited by the animators, and also monday evening when they had live music there. I hung around and had some drinks together with Andrea, Tonka, Mario, Zdravko and Zeljko. Later I went again to Monvi with Mario and two of his friends. Tuesday we left Croatia by bus, drove through Slovenia, Austria and Germany...and 24 hours later I was home. That day my school called me and said that they've found a new teacher so I don't have do postpone my trip to Ukraine. I took off to Ukraine two days later. Sendly had to play in Donetsk, so his ... read more

Dobro došli, this is the second and last blog from Croatia. My travelplans will probalby change for the coming 2 months. I received an email from the school where I was teaching last schoolyear and they asked me to teach from September 3rd untill October 19th (autumn-vacation). They couldn't find another geography teacher yet, so asked me to help them out for those first 7 weeks, while they continue to search for someone else. The costs to change my flight to Kiev, Ukraine will be paid and I'll try to go by the end of October or beginning of November. Of course I accepted this offer, then I will be able to save extra money for the travels. Tuesday or Wednesday I will hear for sure if it's going to happen or not. Will wait for ... read more

Hello all, this is my first entry from Croatia. A very long one (two pages). Good news: the past entries are back, but not all pictures! Im working at a campingsite for a Dutch travelorganization who organize vacations especially for single families. When they arrive, they all have their own big tents with a fridge, beds, plates, spoons, forks etc. everything they'll need. Im the driver, which means that I have a small bus and I have to carry the guests to their activities around and pick them up again. Twice a week I bring them to the supermarket. Beside driving the car, I help my colleagues entertaining the kids, washing the dishes etc. Geertje is the coordinator. The other five: Mark, Nick, Thijs, Kelly and Jo Ann are the kid-animators. They do activities with the ... read more

( Traduzione? Traduccion? www.freetranslation.com ) Hello all, due to the crash of the database of travelblog.org, I decided to write a short entry about the past month, with a few pictures because all entries from the last 3 months are lost. There is a small possibility that some of the entries will be recovered...I hope so! On July 6th I left to Copenhagen, Denmark where I spent a few hours and after I took the train to Falkenberg, Sweden. There I spent a weekend with Tommy, a Swedish friend. Then I went to Gotenborg and Stockholm for a few days. From Stockholm I flew to Rome and I spent 18 days in Italy. I started in Rome, where I visited different sites there like to Colloseum and Vatican City among others and I also met with ... read more

Hello people, Im writing my very last entry from Italy now. I’ll start with Pisa. On my way from Florence to Cinque Terre (Riomaggiore), I stopped in Pisa for a while to visit the leaning tower. By coincidence I met Tiffany there, a girl from California who was staying at the same hostel in Rome. We spent all the time in Pisa together, where I had the best Italian ice cream ever. When I went back to the train station, by coincidence I met Peter, a Dutch friend, and his girlfriend. They came out of the train I had to board. My train departed about 20 minutes later so we had some time to talk. After arriving in Riomaggiore I went to the hostel: a lot of walking and climbing: 300 steps from the ... read more

Buongiorno!!! Im writing here from Stazione Firenze Santa Maria Novella, Toscana! I will take the train 1,5 hours later, so I decided to come here and write a quick entry. On Saturday when I woke up, the pain in my throat was still there so I decided to head to a doctor in Sorrento. I took a bus to the hospital, where they attended me right away. I had an infection, because of the heat plus being in cool places with aircondition, having cold drinks etc etc....combination of cold and heat. Anyway, I got some medicines which I have to take for 5 days. The doctor charged 50 EUR just for opening my mouth and look inside for 5 seconds, and write down the medicines I need to buy at the pharmacy. But my insurance ... read more

Hello all, still here in bella e caldo Italia! In Rome I visited the Vatican Museums with 4 Americans. There was a huge queue to get in, the longest I've ever seen (more than 1000m long). The queue was that long even before the opening of the museum, going all the way from the entrace till the Piazza San Pietro. Me and Zack, one of the Americans, found a smart way to skip a huge part of the queue and we got in very quickly! The museums are huge, enormous! The nicest was the Sistine Chapel. Tuesday afternoon I took the bus from Rome to Sorrento. The ride took almost 4 hours. This province of Italy is called Campania. Arriving around Napoli, you can see the Mount Vesuvius in the background. Driving through Naples and ... read more

Ciao, tutto bene? Saluto e abbraccio da Roma!!! Finally I arrived in Italy last Thursday, when I landed at Roma Ciampino Airport after a 2:45 hr flight from Stockholm, Sweden. Then I took the bus to Ciampino station, and then the train to Roma Stazione Termini (central station). My hostel is just a 5 minute walk from Termini, so it was easy to reach. It's a great location, both metro lines in Rome passes through the station and I bought a one-week metro & bus ticket. The hostel is just ok, but below my expectations. In the hostel I met several people again from all over the world: from Portugal, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, USA, Poland among others. I arrived around 21:30 at the hostel, so I just went out to eat some pizza and went ... read more
