¡Hola from Tenerife! Today I worked my first day with the Atlantic Whale Foundation, I can´t believe I´m going to get to do this for 3 weeks! They send us along with the different whale watching boats for the day. We work in groups of 2 or 3 and record the what the animals are doing and take pictures of them. The rest of the time we basically just ride along, we can get out to swim with the group if we want, or just enjoy the sun. Rough life! At the end we go around and get people to sign our antiwhaling petition. I love that part because I get to talk to people from lots of different countries. There´s not a lot of Americans over here, but I did meet a group today from ... read more

Hallo allemaal! Op woensdag 27 december vloog ik samen met Aafke naar Tenerife! Na aankomst een bonocard voor de bus geregeld en de bus naar Santa Cruz genomen. Daar misten we net de bus naar La Orotava, maar daardoor belandden we wel gezellig in een bus met twee duitse toeristen en een Griek (Dimitri), die Duits sprak en al een paar jaar in La Orotava woonde. Hij hielp ons mooi op weg en leverde ons af bij het hostel, wat we gereserveerd hadden. (hij woonde in dezelfde straat..) Daar maakten we kennis met de Oostenrijkse eigenaar, die ook nog eens gids is op het eiland. (wandelingen) 's Avonds zochten we een eettentje in de buurt en belandden in een gezellige comedor waar we heerlijk gegeten hebben en een erg zoet dessertdrankje cadeau kregen. Donderdag besloten we ... read more

Oh my gosh. I have been to so many places and seen so many things. I found out that i could print that guide out from the website One Planet Travel and have carried it around with me every where. Where i plan to go next i am going back on that website to print off the hand book of information because it is a god send. I went up mount Tiede and it was amazing. We walked up and then watched the sunset and drove back down. What a sight that was. I also went to Loro Parque which was cool and i knew how much money to bring as it was all in my little guide. The dolphin show was totally out of this world. I am so excited there is so much more ... read more

Matt: After four months of living in the UK during winter, newly arrived Australians often find that they crave three main things: 1) The feel of warm sand between their toes (for some reason, the muddy flats of the Thames just don’t seem to be enough); 2) The sight of amazing scenery (quaint and cute as it is, Britain’s landscape lacks the wow factor - it’s more ‘oh’ than ‘WHOA!’); 3) A good dose of vitamin D (during winter, the sun literally goes missing for months at a time). This weekend, Ed and I found the cure to all of these little problems - a four day trip to Tenerife in the Canary Islands, which are a few hundred miles off the west coat of Africa… Unfortunately, our flights with BA left from Gatwick which is ... read more

Where does every Brit go when they want sun & a cheap holiday? Tenerife! Nikki & I had been dating for about seven months at the time so decided we should go away on our first holiday together. We had been to Rome for a weekend but we wanted to go somewhere for two whole weeks of sun, relaxation, sun, nice food, sun & most importantly FUN....oh did I mention sun? lol. One of the things I love most about Nikki is that she’s different from most other women when it comes to money, most women I know/have met aren’t always “good” with money (could just be the women I know lol) but Nikki is always looking for the best deal or wanting to barter with people, I am the opposite, if I find something I ... read more
