Hi Everyone! It's officially to hot to be outside and I am seeking refuge in an internet cafe. I'm in Exmouth which if you haven't heard of it before, I don't blame you. It's tiny and in the middle of nowhere, but beautiful. But how about I tell you how I got here first. So I spent about a week in Perth which honestly was a perfect amount of time. I did two amazing dives off Rottnest island which were great. The water is temperate (so wetsuits were essential!) but a tropical current comes down the coast which makes for interesting coral and some good sea life as well. King's park was a great way to spend the day and I did a walking tour with a naturalist who pointed out all the amazing flora that ... read more

I made it to Buenos Aires! But not without a whole lot of adventure of course... After Cartagena, I stayed on the Caribbean coast and ended up in the small-ish town of Santa Marta. We arrived at the hostel (I was still travelling with the Irish girls I met on the boat from Panama) and we were each given a drawing of a vagina and were told to hang on to these for later. What the...? Turns out it was international woman´s day and some people at the hostel were putting on a concert with games (hence the vag drawings) to comemorate the day. Needless to say it was an interesting introduction to ¨The Miramar,¨one of the older hostels in Colombia. Went to Tayrona park, a beautiful tropical paradise outside of Santa Marta. You have to ... read more

Hi again from the lovely surf town of Santa Teresa. Still living the beach life which consists of a lot of surfing, reading, more surfing and perhaps some serious lying around. Tough life. But I have managed to do some cultural outings. After I got to montezuma, I rented a bike in town and biked the 9km to Cabo Blanco, one of Costa Rica's first National parks. The bike ride was beautiful. Right along the ocean on one side and lot's of beautiful farmland on the other. And because it's a dirt road and in the dry season the dust can be unbearable, so they dump molases on top of the dirt in order to settle the cloud that inevitably kicks up as numerous SUV's and fourwheelers cruise by at top speed. But in the sun, ... read more

Hey everyone...sorry I suck at this blogging thing. All is good, still in San Juan Del Sur. Really great place with lot´s of amazing people. I´ve been staying on the neighbouring beach at a campsite/hostel called Matilda´s. Absolutely stunning beach with barely anyone on it. At night I fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves and crazy howler monkeys. The surfing is great but I am getting the snot kicked out of me. I was all cocky and rented a really short board and basically got tumbled in the whitewash all day long. But after many bruised shins I finally got the hang of it and could somewhat hold my own...in the much smaller waves of course. Than the other day I took a nice nasty spill and broke my fin off my board which ... read more

Hi everyone...still in Honduras! I just can't leave this island...I've decided to stay here for Xmas. The divemasters have invited me to dinner and it sounds like it's going to be a feast and huge party so I couldn't pass it up. I'll hopefully make it to Nicaragua soon as I am looking forward to surfing. Still diving lots, seeing tons of cool stuff. I really can't wait to dive all over the world, very addictive. Not much else going on. I usually get up at 6am to get on the boat and dive until lunch. The afternoon is mostly spent on a random hammok. What a tough life. I've been trying to upload photos but the computers are really slow and it's costly so they might have to wait. Happy christmas everyone, I doubt ... read more
