I have now made it to Oz and after some heavy questionning at immigration was allowed into the country! My first stop has been Perth. So far I have found it to be a lovely city. Easy to get around especially with free buses and friendly people. Spent a day at Fremantle or "Freo" as the locals call it. A really nice, relaxed port where I enjoyed walking around the famous markets and eating fish and chips at Cicerello's on the harbour. The museum was also really interesting and I enjoyed learning all about the immigration policies and the 10 pound ticket to Australia. Spent the evening watching Pride and Prejudice at the cinema and today I have been to Kings Park and the Botanic Gardens. Lovely with breath taking views of the city. Great to ... read more

Arrived back in the UK on 2 October after an amazing 6 nights in New York with my friend Tracy. Managed to do all the main sights including Ellis Island, Staten Island ferry, Empire State, Central Park, Guggenheim, Macy's, Bloomingdales, Tiffany's and managed to see Rent the musical. Thanks to Cheryl and all my yurt buddies at summer camp for introducing me to the sound track. I loved it. Had a busy time back in the UK. Managed to sort out another visa for the US so am able to work at Sargent Center camp until June 2007. Visited a few friends, oh and managed to drive the mini cooper through a giant puddle, got stuck and now it needs a new engine! Aaaagh. Very expensive visit. Thanks to all those I managed to see or ... read more

Having an awesome time on my trip across America. The highlights so far have been hiking in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks and in the snow capped Rocky mountains. It has been a lot of traveling on a cramped mini bus so it was great to get outdoors and do some really good hikes. Now in Vancouver and after lots of camping I am looking forward to a night in a hotel in Seattle tomorrow! I then head down to Yosemite National Park and San Francisco before finishing the trip in LA on 23 August.... read more

Having a great time here in Boston with my friend Kay who I met at camp. The weather has been glorious and so far we have been up the Prudential tower for some great views over the city, on a boat cruise, walked round Harvard and visited the museum of fine arts. For our last day we intend to walk the Freedom trail and hit the shops! Boston is a very easy city to get around, the people are friendly, it is very clean and there is even air conditioning on the subway! A bit different to London. Walked past Fenway Park on Tuesday night and managed to hear some of the Black Eyed Peas who were supporting the Rolling Stones concert. Sadly we were unable to get inside but I bet it was a great ... read more

Coming to the end of my two weeks with my second group of campers. Only one group left to go and then I have a week of family camp! Not exactly sure what that it is but sounds intriguing. Still having a fab time and loving being outdoors. Getting used to driving on the other side of the road and driving an automatic. Looking forward to having Saturday off. We are planning a big BBQ. Went and played mini golf or crazy golf as we call is last session break and also saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which I would recommend. Went on a mountain hike today. Beautiful scenery and a gorgeous day. We have had a few thunderstorms lately and had to evacuate from the yurts for a few hours the other night. A ... read more
