After an incredible time picking apples in Queenland Australia, a made a wee trip around Aus to visit some mate before living my dream, and going to India and Nepal. India was alwasys on the top of my list of adventures I wanted to embark on, and for my 25th birthday, I decide to make it happen. My 25th itself, was beautiful in hte Indian way. Nothing to much happened. I spent most of it on a train that I took from Delhi to Kochin in the south of the country. The train was 50 hours, but the last day of it landed on hte 13th of May. I awoke on hte top bunk of hte second class sleeper surounded by Indians washing up and starting their day. A train for that long is like temporary ... read more

Well... After finding my passport, changing my plane ticket twice and finally getting to S.A. I meet up with my mate, Kima nd Gez who I was suposed to leave with and Mone, a good friend from Edinburgh who is Africaance. We drive way up north into a semi desertus area to Mones ex-boyfriends game reserve for a weekend of a true Africaance Bush Party. We arrived at 9am, and the boys handed me a purle bottle of some sort or alcohol. and tell me to chug....... and it goes on and on and on for 3 days... I don't have much of a memory of the experience, it was fun... We drove around on the backs of pick-up trucks, drining black label, searching for girafs and zebrass and boers and Baboons. My "best friend" ... read more

Years after hearing all about the state of Denmark, I finally got off my ass and dicided to cross the north sea to visit my very good friend Katrine Capion. I didn't have any real expectaions of the country, nor did I have time to plan anything before I embarked, so the whole trip was great. It was really nice to see an old friend from Canada, it seems like its been 10 years since I left good old Canadia. Kat and her boyfriend Troles had the whole 4 days planed out for me. Day one was a wee trip down to Koge, pernounced koo.. or something like that. I got to meet Kat familly, her little twin sisters who I had spoken with on the phone many years ago, and her Mom who has passes ... read more

So After a fun and luxurious time in Thailand, Jordina and I head for the well inticipated Cambodia. We both have been wanting to come here for a long time, Jordan ,because Angelina Jolie comes here, and myself, because I heard that the people here who cool, and the jungle is vast! And We would not be let down at all. At the Cambodian/Thai border, we get hastled by all the children trying to pickpocket the white peoiple, and headed for the currency exchange. We had taken an 18 hours boat/bus trip to get this far , so we were exhausted. We got a horrible exchange there, and didn't realize it until later. We were probally giped 60,000 reil each, which is a lot of cash here, and then we found out that the country was ... read more

Well, Its been a while since we were here, but I do remember it being a lot of fun. Although Koh Phangan is known for being a party island, we were more into relaxing on the beach. We worked our asses off trying to get here, and all we wanted to do was swim and take in the sun. We of course has a few nights of Buckets (beach sand buckets filled with at least a pint of some kind of booze, red bull and coke) We met some fun kids here, and the swimming was great. We went on a few boat rides to different parts of the Island and went to more water falls, and cool jungle hide-a-ways....Thailand is Paridice, and nothing more.... read more

So we arrive in Bankok on an extreamly hot day. It was maybe 45 degrees and Jordan and I were suffering from a flight hang-over and Jetleg. We decide to get out of the sity asap and head west to a national park. We jumped in a share cab and took a two hour jorney for Kanchanaburi. There we stayed on a floating house. It wasn't quite a boat, just accomidation on hte water. There were elephants roaming the grounds and the sounds of the jugle were surrounding us at all times. The first day We took an amazing train ride through the mountains an allong the largest river in South East Asia. We sat on the steps that lead onto the train and my feet dangled over the water 50 meters below us. They took ... read more
