Today was a very mixed day, having said goodbye to Fez, it was now time to say hello again to a dear friend, Guus that I met on Koh Tao. He only had 9 days to go before heading back home to Belgium so we decided to meet up again and spend his last days together. We met in town and boarded the bus to Trat where we would pick up the ferry to Koh Chang. Koh Chang is the second biggest island in Thailand and is a national park, so unlike Phuket (The largest island) it is covered in jungle that inhabits monkeys and apparently wild elephants. We arrived at the resort he had stayed at previously on Lonely Beach and got ourselves a bungalow that was only 2 minutes’ walk from the beach. Koh ... read more

After leaving Koh Tao in Thailand at 9.15am on the 22nd august, I finally arrived in Jordan on the 23rdAugust at 4pm (after going back 4 hours in time). So all in all I had been travelling for about 36 hours to finally reach Jordan. Along the route I had a brief stopover in Qatar where I disembarked the plane and it was over 50 degrees!! Everything went very smoothly at the airport and I made it, finally to my destination. As I have learned a lot on my travels, things change and at very short notice. My friend, Fez, whom I was visiting in Jordan, was meant to be picking me up from the airport but unfortunately he got a flat tyre so I made my own way to the hotel. Not a problem, I’m ... read more

It was really good to see the professionals fight and i thoroughly enjoyed it, there were even a couple of Westerners having a go and both of them won their fights. I have taken lots of photos for you all to see!... read more

On the morning of the 27th July it was time to set off on another adventure. I was up at 6.30am (and throughout most of the night due to paranoia about not waking up and malaria tablet nightmares) and off I scurried to the airport. Everything went like clockwork until i popped to the loo at about 8.30 and came out to see that the departure board said 'final call' for my flight even though the time of departure was 9.40. Like a woman possessed i sprinted through the airport to my departure lounge, which, true to form, was the farthest possible gate from where i was (maybe i should have gone to a toilet a little closer to gate 144 than 101, hindsight eh?!). So i got to the check in desk and my boarding ... read more
