Thanks to my hard working parents,I\'ve been able to grow up in Marin and I\'ve been surrounded by many great things which have given me many great posibilities. Unfortunately, one of those was not diversity in some aspects of life. That is one of my main reasons for traveling. I want to learn about life and share my learnings with the people around me. For the next 5 months, I will be a sponge in this place we call Earth trying to take in all she has to offer.The Human Sponge

I'll start off where I left off, my trip to Kojo's in Charlton. So after getting to London Victoria I had reached Kojo and also learned his cell was running out of battery. We decided to make it easier on myself since i didnt know the area too well and head to the London Bridge station. Not thinking about time and obviously location, we soon learned that was the worst idea possible. Because of rain, part of the train track had been flooded, or so they said, and the London Bridge station was huge. There was the Underground and the British Rail Way and both had 2 different locations to come in at. Not knowing this for the first 30 minutes i was there i stayed in a pretty busy area where i thought i ... read more

haha, yeah a little down right now. plans have changed big time because of my great ability of being unprepared and my wonderful attitude of relaxation and free flowing manner. Well shit, i sure shot myself in the foot on this one. I could have bought a eurail ticket in the states and decided not to so i could see if they had something cheaper here and now im stuck in england waiting for it to get here in the mail. because of that little delay im now going to miss the "running of the bulls" in Pamplona which now leaves my time completely open. I think since the Tour de France is going on i might try to find out where and when and maybe stand there while bikes fly by me at 60+ miles ... read more

Just got back to the Isle of Sheppey after visiting Dave in Stubbington which is a small village inbetween Southhampton and Portsmouth. Subb is also know as "Where ever we are" only becuase before we met Dave we had no clue where we were and when we talked about it, that was the only way we could title it. Danny and I left on friday and stayed until today. On Friday night we went out to a great bar by the name of "TGI Fridays" and let me tell ya, it goes off in there. Ive been missin out all this time. :P Seriously though, there were a lot of people there but after a couple drinks by the name of Stella Artois, also known as "wife beater." Not from anything that happend to me, ... read more

Im here in England at my buddies house in the Isle of Sheppey. Its on the south eastern side of England about 1 hour from Heathrow by car. My friend Danny, who is allowing me to stay at his place and has been incredibley kind about how long i can stay and has shown me pretty much everything there is to see in Kent. The first day we got here, i of course walked to what i know as the passenger side of the car not thinking about how everything had been switched, man that and driving on the other side of the road was a trip. After entering Kent, we had some Cod and chips(fries) which is the most well known english food i believe. We then went to a few of the local ... read more
