Well the time had come for me to go for a dream of mine that I had wanted to do for such a long time, I was heading to Mt Everest Base Camp. I was going to be going solo but at the Kathmandu airport I bumped into another lad from the US and he was planning to do the same sort of thing so we teamed up and headed on our way. The flight in Lukla where the hike starts was interesting and a look on youtube and type in Lukla alot of things will come up with the airstrip and the bad things that have happened there and only 2 months before we arrived there as well. Anyway we headed of on our hike and first day we made it Monjo and this was ... read more

So completely new plans for me this was from two months ago but I had a fantastic time over in Sweden for new years and the most fun (and scary) would have been meeting Diana's family.. of course there is the language barrier to begin with but lucky they all know English enough to communicate but it shows how lazy native English speakers are when we think there is no need to be learning another language so for me it is time to learn :) News years we went to Stockholm to meet up with Diana's friends and had a fantastic, but freezing night! Well for me anyway I was freezing and not use to having a cold New Years at all. It was a couchsurfing party we went to and there were people from ... read more

Main thing for me when thinking about Poland is the events of the World War and trying to find out what happened here and get the local point of view who are still very keen to tell there stories passed down from Parents, Grandparents or there own tales. I got some very got insight with what happened there whilst staying with some very nice people in Warsaw and Krakow. First I was in Warsaw where the whole city was completly destroyed 85% but they have managed to rebuild the old town to exactly the way it was before the war started. You will always hear about the Warsaw Uprising that happed here. The human sacrifices just during the Uprising in Warsaw for 63 days, 15,200 insurgents killed and missing, 5,000 wounded, 15,000 sent to POW camps. ... read more

Into the Baltic Countries now and getting of the ferry from Helsinki I arrived in Tallinn with the famous only surviving walled old town in this area. It really is an amazing place to wander through and feels like you have taken a step back in time when first arriving walking through the enterance of the wall into all the old buildings that you will find. There is plenty to see when wandering around and a good few days is needed to explore just the old city which is not that big at all but on the outskirts of the city there are plenty more to see. I went and checked out the Art Museum that just got voted the best in Europe 08 and the open air museum north of the city on the coast ... read more

Finish people are the most crazy people I have ever meet by far and yes that is me naked in a sauna, that info is at the bottom.. When traveling up in the Lapland part they are extremely over the top expecually when on the drink. I was up in Rovamanni when Santa's offical residence is and headed out with the people I was staying with and my god was it crazy. They just dont care about anything or anyone the people up there but on the other hand it made for a great few nights out! There local drink shot they have is the worst thing I have ever had and they have it like water, no wonder there are lots of trouble up in that area! It is on the other hand a nice ... read more
