After the last few months and years actually, i find myself back in the freezing London winter wondering once more... Why? This time, after 8 months almost unmotivated by my job, i am more than ready to move on once more. I have once again chosen India as my destination. So... I've booked my flight, sorted out my jabs and visa, now all that has to be done is dreaded packing!!! How does one pack for 6months? I will be hiking, beaching, training, yogaing, helping out in a orphange, WOOFING(Maybe) all these things require different wardrobes, all these items heavy :/! I've spent some time over the past few months thinking on the reasons i left for my first trip. Some may say i ran away from it all, escaped cold London, education, man troubles, or ... read more

Hello everybody!!! Its been a long while since i last wrote. Be completely sweeped up by it all. I know i haven't finished Asia in my blog yet but am so far behind that i thought i'd write a little email to let everyone know what i'm doing right now... I left Thailand on the 25th of May 10 days after my planned departure, i decided because i would now only have 5days in Australia that i would fly straight to Sydney to see Katie and skip Melbourne out. When my plan landed at 6am the weather outside was 2degrees... I'd been on the plane for 12hours and unfortunately been unable to sleep Even though i'd put on trousers and all my warm layers, when i passed though those sliding doors the cold hit me like ... read more

Sit back, relax and imagine sitting on a jetty into the sea surrounded by beautiful amazing friends... Now add a magic mushroom shake! (Some of you may be intrigued and even there, some a little worried about there darling Saskia... all the same, work with me guys.) ... Having never ventured to the wonders of mushrooms before when i heard they were available on my paradise beach i was intrigued... Having spent around five days, surrounding by amazing people who i know will be life time friends, some i may see again and some maybe not but i will hold the memory of us all together for ever... Most of the people i've been spending time with have been a little older then me some in their early and late twenty's, some mid thirty's and even ... read more

We arrived in Dehli at 5.30am! After another over night train... The ones in North India are defantily worest, no doors or western toilets, its was quite scary think i only got about 2hours sleep. So i arrive at Dehli train station,sleepy and confussed, the last thing i want is the hassel of getting an Auto to the airport... But true to India, about 20men tried to get me in there taxi or auto's for a crazy price. We managed to get one for 250Ruppees, which was good as seen as it was about 20miles away.Freezing cold and still very sleepy we made the journey to the airport. Arriveing at 6am, our flight was at 11.45pm... Sitting for 15hours in the cafe at Dehli airport was an experience i don't want to repeat. If any of ... read more

On our second day in Arga, we rose at 5.30 to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Not relising the popularity of this we were shocked by the que of over a hundred people when we arrived at 6. Inside was not at all what i expected, once though the gate, welcomed by a perfect garden and a kind of red fort. Though a clear gateway the Taj shone in the morning sun. In India i have been overwelled by many experiances, some of love for people or nature, some hassel and croweds. But for the first time in my life i was overwellemed by a building and it grounds, when you forcus on the feeling and emotion behind the stutrue all tourist and annoyinse seem to dissapear and your alone with an overwelleming feeling of ... read more
