My third cup of Lipton's tea. It's hot and it burns my mouth. "So, you're a cool girl?" He asks, with the strangest of accents because until he tells you, you have no idea where he's from. I lift my eyebrow in response and stir the spoon around in the little cup. "You are cool, you say you are a cool girl?" He asks again and I have no idea what he's talking about and I tell him that. 'I want to bring you someplace, show you something. Follow me," He says with a smile, and turns around. We walk up the stairs to the second floor of the hostel, turn the corner, and now we are going through a door with a sign that clearly reads "No tresspassing." He may be from Israel, but we ... read more

Every morning I sit at the table with the booths. You see, this is the most comfortable spot in the place. I kick off my flip-flops (thongs as the Brits say,) I cross my legs and look at everyone. Every morning I make a new friend, and in a way, it kills me, because I know one of us will leave BUT This morning I almost killed myself getting to the floor from the top bunk, stumbled down the stairs and said good morning to the staff, made my usual free waffle, and carried everything to my table.

Vancouver had been part of our trip, but it had been a sort of 'trip hiatus' or luxurious break as staying with family and friends had been just like being home again with all the home comforts. So as we packed our bags and said goodbye from Vancouver it signaled the second and last phase of our travels - the four month section that remained through Canada, the USA and then into Latin America. Our plan for leaving Vancouver originally meant taking a train or bus for the three hour ... read more

Greetings from Seattle, WA!! I hope everybody is doing fine back home in Europe. Due to a 9 hours time difference between the American west coast (where I am now) and continental Europe I am only online when most of you aren't. I hope you're enjoying the blog though and feel free to leave a comment. I have now moved again (yeah I know, I'm really flying all over this country) and I have made it to the northwest of the US to the city of Seattle. The city is just three hours drive from the Canadian border and the city of Vancouver. Today I made a visit to the Boeing factory in Everett about one hour north of Seattle, that was one of the main reasons for going there. The place was just so cool, ... read more
