I'm getting pretty pumped since this is my first ever trip to anywhere outside of Canada and I'm doing it alone Nerves are beginning to set in but only a little bit and it tends to wake me up in the middle of the night and makes my heart pound a bit and I am trying to not overthink it.

Heute war ich also wie auch schon ein paar Wochenenden zuvor beim Football. Genauer gesagt beim Canadian Football. Dies ist ziemlich aehnlich dem American Football aber irgendwie doch nicht ganz dasselbe. Auf jeden Fall war ich passend angezogen schwarze Hose schwarze Jacke und darueber ein rotes TShirt das vom Kickoff 08 denn die Dino http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Calgary/blog-343103.html Everyone told us we had to go see the Rockies.

The food was delicious the company amazing music great and tequila slightly blurry http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Banff-National-Park/blog-342755.html First blog. After spending 16 years travelling around by bicycle I decided to work for a bit maybe save up a bit of coin to travel.... ended up taking care of my Dad for a few years and then got bogged down doing contracting jobs to make a living. Met the most fantastic woman imaginable who is now my wife Kelly. Time for me to head out on the road with her exploring what the world has to off http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Edmonton/blog-342752.html Hi guys I'm so sorry its taken me so long to write a post The internet has been down for the last few days.

There is one run which is about 20m wide and that's what were opening with tomorrow.So i'm working in the ski tech shop with 4 other guys. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-342677.html HEY EVERYBODYI'm all packed up for my trip and i leave in one week and and bitI am so excitedI'll miss you guysHailey http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Edmonton/blog-342448.html Whenever I hear of Calgary in the future I will always have happy thoughts of my time there. A lot of those thoughts will sprout into stories about the people I lived with worked with and missed while I was there.The wheels started turning in my head about knuckling down to work for four or five months once the season had finished in about March at the ski hill. Every morning without fail the uti http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Calgary/blog-342435.html Ok flights are booked and I am as excited as a little kid waiting for Christmas Oh and a little bit on the scared side too but now that the flights are booked and tickets are inhand there is no way I can talk myself out of going. What an adventure this will be. As long as I can keep to the motto I have adopted for this my first trip overseas 'Fear is temporary regret is forever'. I don't pl http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Penhold/blog-342304.html Starting a blog seems like the right way to maintain contact when away. So in the future when I am away I hope to be using this. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Calgary/blog-341435.html Greetings from CalgaryWell we had a great time travelling through Ontario its really quite surprising how big it is it's strange to think that in all the time we spent driving from South Central Ontario into the next province we could have drivin' through the continental U.S.. Most of our drive through Northern Ontario was right along the waters of Lake Superior and hundreds of other small l http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Calgary/blog-341416.html Four months later I can tell you that the adventure didn't stop when I got back from Europe. Even though I started working the summer weekends were packed with activity. I went to Waterton Nationla Park with Vanessa still one of my favourite places in the world three weddings the Creation Science Museum in Big Valley hilarious camped about four times and went on a 1500km road trip each http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Edmonton/blog-341070.html Hey boys and girlsI thought I would write an entry in my travel blog before I leave on my trip. For those of you who don't know I'm flying to Bangkok on November 3. Yes that's in 2 days... The plan is to do Thailand Cambodia Vietnam and Laos This is a solo adventure with just myself and a backpack.

Yesterday that is My sunday nightshift was an interesting time.. I had a talk with my boss in the morning that essentially set me free We have a pretty big problem at work hiring and keeping employees at the top end. It is a subject that i ask about constantly. We are being overworked so i want a solution though i have mine that will help everyone else out. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Grande-Prairie/blog-339100.html Failure's hard but success is far more dangerous. If you're successful at the wrong thing the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever. Po BronsonI've never seen my greatest fear so succinctly summed up into one sentence. For years I have struggled with the societal overtones of wealth and material possessions which are in stark contrast to my personal objectives in li http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Calgary/blog-339021.html Auf den folgenden Seiten stelle ich mal ein paar Bilder der WG und vom Campus rein... http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Alberta/Calgary/blog-338629.html
