I'm just sitting at the bed and breakfast in Roskilde and I thought I would write this message mainly to let my parents know that everything is going just fine since I forgot to call last night. The family has been so nice to me here I didn't think it would be right to bug them to use their telephone to make an international call. I'll call you next Sunday once the people at Svanholm start to know me. The past week has been a little on the dry side but it did have its moments. When people in Germany said [View Full Entry]

So we called the bus station today and someone did drop off my wallet with everything inside. The cash, the visa, the debit...everything! I couldn't be more relieved. Only in Denmark I guess :) Today I spent the day working in the garden planting garlic for about 6 hours. The ecovillage asks that you work 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, in order to compensate for your room and board. Although it may seem like a lot, in return I not only stay for free but also learn the language, experience the culture and meet new people. It's a [View Full Entry]

I'm currently visiting an ecovillage in central Denmark near the town of Hundstrup. Unfornately for me I believe (I can't be 100% sure) that I forgot my wallet on the bus when I switched busses about 2 km away from the town. Luckily for me I'm in the countryside so I will call the bus tomorrow and someone may have turned it in. Otherwise I will likely have to wait for a visa from Canada. Not to worry though, visa transactions have been stopped and at the most I lose around 200 in cash. It doesn't bother me all that much [View Full Entry]

Tonight is my last night with John and Ingrid. Tomorrow I will be taking the train to Svenborg and then the bus to Ubølle to visit and ecovillage north of this town. As for my time here, John and Ingrid have been just perfect hosts. They have fed me frikadela and rye bread up to my ears! I've never eaten so much in all my life. John took me to visit Ribe and the island of Rømø. He laughed when I was in Ribe because I went to the same bakery, ordered the same pastry and walked down the same street [View Full Entry]

I just arrived in Denmark today and I have to say I'm fairly tired from the train trip. All in all I was on the train for 8 hours but John Mikkelsen was there to meet me at the station in Esbjerg which worked out just perfectly. This evening we had Trina and Peter over for dinner as well as Trina's husband Peter (I guess Peter is a fairly common name?). Tomorrow we will be going to a fairly medieval city nearby to do a small tour and then I will be going with John's son Peter to a pub in [View Full Entry]

In Berlin at the moment, figured I'd give a little update. The last few weeks have been just great! Christoph's family were the best hosts you could ask for and took me all over the town and fed me like crazy. ANDD this is good news for you guys, I got a new website for putting up pictures which allows me to add about 10 pictures at a time and works MUCH faster than putting up one picture every ten minutes as is the case with this blog. I'll put a link for the website at the bottom of this blog [View Full Entry]

I'm in Dortmund at the moment. Fabian met me at the train station and told me he had a small car so he wasn't sure if we could fit the bags in...I was thinking a Lada or something. I wait at the entrace and he pulls up in a Mazda MX5! Today I'll be going to class with Fabian and then a few friends will be coming over for some beer later on tonight. He has a dog named 'Easy' that hasn't had a bath in probably a month so hopefully we can sneak him a bath sometime in between. Zürich [View Full Entry]

Sorry to have been slacking with the blog lately, with Oktoberfest, meeting with friends and train schedules keeping me busy, I haven't had too much time to keep this updated. As well, it takes about 15 minutes to upload each individual picture so I'm sorry for the lack of photos. Anyway! The trip so far has been wonderful. Besides sitting in Heathrow for 8 hours and paying 20$ (9.5 pounds) for a hamburger) I have to say that Europe started off just perfect. Wolfgang was at the airport to greet me and had a room and cot already set up by [View Full Entry]

After spending 2 days in airports and paying 15$ for a hamburger in England, I finally arrived in Munich. Wolfgang drove me straight to his place and has basically given me the keys to the city. His house has more than enough room for Ashleigh and it is at least half as much bigger than our house in Canada (which surprised me). Wolfgang lives in a village of about 700 and I"ve already had several Bavarian beers despite being here for only 12 hours. I"ll write a little more later on today or tomorrow!

So I finally got myself to Montréal last night at around 6:00pm. Eve (the Auberge owners girlfriend) gave me a ride to Chicoutimi since she needed to do some work which was a huge relief and a huge savings (time/money). Nothing like hitchhiking in rural Québec with a 50 pound back pack. I made sure to buy them a nice bottle of wine before I left along with some chocolate and some really nice Québec cheese for our final breakfast. I took the bus from Chicoutimi to Montréal and I made sure to call a few of my friends to let [View Full Entry]
