We flew to Riga from Moscow with Air Baltic on the 8th of June, and once again our hostel mucked up our transfer! Couldn't believe our bad luck that it happened twice! Again tiredness made us jump in a taxi and hoped it was a legitimate company! We got to our hostel about half 11 at night and were soooo hungry. We couldn't find a 24 hour supermarket nearby but walked in the pouring rain to good old Mcdonalds :) Riga is a really small city (especially after we had just arrived from Moscow) and it had a completely different feel [View Full Entry]

Again, I'm writing this blog a few months after I was actually in Moscow :) But I've got some free time so will try and write as much as I remember! We arrived in Moscow about 6am, which was 2am british time and even that 4 hour time difference made me feel soooooo tired and spaced out. We arrived in Domodedovo airport and had arranged for our hostel to pick us up at 8 to give us a chance to get breakfast. We ended up not gettnig breakfast but just hanging around. 8am came, then half 8 and we phoned our [View Full Entry]

It's been almost 6 months since I went to Namibia but this crazy year meant I've not written about it untill now. I went through realgap to volunteer at n/a'ankuse wildlife sanctuary which was one of the best experiences of my life. I'd always wanted to go to Africa and to be honest I didn't know much about Namibia itself but it is an amazing country! I met so many amazing people, a few I've managed to meet up with since I've been back which is good :) I got to hug cheetahs, take baboons for a walk, feed lions, take [View Full Entry]

Me and 5 friends from uni went to Amsterdam on the 17th March - 21st. We stayed in the stayokay hostel in zeeburg, it was a bit out of town but was clean, affordable and the tram stop to dam square was bout 50m away. We spent the week going to the zoo, madam tussauds, red light district, coffeeshops and just generally walking about the city! Amsterdam is so different, everyone is laid back but the bicycles are crazy!!!!! We tried some hash in the coffeeshops (none of us smoke it back home but we had to take in the culture [View Full Entry]
