So as I sit here in a hostel bed in Hollywood at 10pm after travelling from what was 2am US Pacific time I thought I'd do the sappy reflective blog of it all. But I won't bother. If you've been following my blog you know exactly what the last few months have meant for me and there's no need for me to go over it. So I'm just going to end with how my last night in the Northern Hemispshere went then find you my favourite photo from the last 3.5 months. So basically got into the third world airport that is LAX at 6 and managed to find my bag after they dropped us at the wrong terminal and we had to walk for ages. I of course took public transport to get to Hollywood ... read more

Just a short blog update today. Well after making the bus ride which wasn't too bad. I had 2 seats to myself for a while until some German girl appeared from nowhere 2 hours in and said she needed to sit next to me. Okay, where have you been the last 2 hours? Anyways all good, still enough room to get comfy and try and sleep. Spent most time listening to MP3 player on random. Jeez I have some random shit on there that I never listen to. Nothing exciting about a bus ride really is there. Made a pit stop and I took a few photos of an empty Costan Rican village that obviously serves as a stopping point for long distance drivers. Few hours later we make the border. All good getting out of ... read more

So just a quick update to let you all know I am now in a new country!! Arrived in Nicaragua about midnight last night or is that today? I don't bloody know. Anyways bus ride was actual luxery. Was in first class from Guatemala City to San Salvador for some reason. Considering the ride started at 6am I slept the whole way there, only being woken by the army wanting my passport at the border. They were taking all the men off the bus for full searches but when I said I was going to Nicaragua and not Salvador they gave me my passport back and said have a nice trip. Guess they didn't care if I was a drug trafficker just as long as the drugs weren't being trafficked to El Salvador. So anyways we ... read more

So this blog update is going to be an excerpt from my friend Harrison as he has blogged a much better summary than I can remember. But yeah to give you the jist we went to pub trivia Monday night at Reillys (the local Irish bar) and it was very eventful. Now Harrison will tell you the rest. "Ate my incredibly unsatisfying dinner at 6:30 (frijoles and bread), and then Justin, Inshiya, Tatiana, Liam and I headed over to Reilly’s for trivia. It’s a 5 person max per team, so we were already set. Justin and Inshiya I should remind you, are the married couple that just moved into my house Sunday. Justin is from Las Vegas, they both live there now, and Inshiya’s family is from India but she was born and raised in Dubai ... read more
