Well actually I've been home for like 3 weeks now. Just REally haven't wanted to sit down and write this. This is a sorta recap of the last 7 months. Well a blurry recap. So it started by smashing my guitar on my first flight. That ledto my new beater guitar that is basically my souvineer for the trip. Signed by all the lovely people I've met on this trip. Totally I could have kept travelling but man miss my friends. LOL. And a decent paycheck. So to everyone from Europe CHEERS. I mean there is no better way to go out and meet people than jump trains around europe in the summer. So many memories. The top spots were definetly Krakow, Greece, Barcellona, Amsterdam, adn of course Ibiza. The Pink Palace is mandatory for everyone ... read more

Not going to miss this!

Jenn and Brian

Well, we are only a couple of days away from taking off for Thailand now. I was hoping the snow would hold off until we took off, but that was wishful thinking. When we left from Sturgeon Falls this morning, the weather was -36 C with the windchill. That means we will be making a 60 plus degree change pretty soon. Woohoo! I think we'll go into shock though! ... read more

Nice remote lake and we got a spot camping on a sweet island. Anyways this is my first entry so I guess I should expand on exactly where I"m going.

5 months at Camp Wahanowin

You may have been wondering what has happened to me over the last 5-6 months since I last posted. It seems a little unfair to jam 5 and a bit months into 1 short journal but I'll try. I've been working at a summer camp called Camp Wahanowin. It's about an hour and a half north of Toronto, just outside Orillia. Camp was divided up into probably 3 main parts so I'll deal with them seperately. When we first arrived at the beginning of May, we had 2 weeks of maintainence where the entire camp had to be set up. It was so ridiculously cold for those weeks that at breakfast the seats in front of the heater were hot property. I think that my down sleeping bag paid for itself in those couple of weeks. ... read more
