We crossed the boarder from Venezuela to Brazil and I swear everything felt just the little bit better. We had to wait to get our passports stamped but the ladys came out from their lunch break to do it and were very smily and chatty - a big change from Venezuela where they just steal your stuff and stop you for no reason. From the boarder we continued to Boa Vista, we travelled in a jeep with a man called Frank who kept finding excuses to touch my leg when we were driving.

They were all very loud and excitable, the hottie next to me kept listening to his ipod and dancing (and playing pretend drums, oh yeah!). I also met a very interested French man in the airport. He was ... read more
Hopefully this blog will allow you all to see where I am and to know that I am safe. I have been in Colombia and so far there have been no problem, apart from my foot falling down a drain (no damage done). I spent a month in Cali with my Aunty and cousins. I had a brilliant time and loved spending some time with them as it dosen´t happen very often! I also had the opportunity to help at the Collegio Colombo Britanico which was brilliant and has made me realise that I definatly would like to teach abroad for a couple of years, defo somewhere hot with lots of sexy men!!
