Welcome to Alaska!
I was greeted upon arrival in Luxor, Egypt. Working in the

I can't add any photos right now but just thought I would pop in to say hållo and that I'm still alive! Summer school has been okay so far but it's kind of a bummer to have to research and do work when you just want to explore the outside world :) Tomorrow ... Read more >

our stamp at Tawau immigration, again being ... Read more >

AUSTRALIA | Sun, 4 Apr 2010 | By vantastic_nt | Views [400] | Comments [4]
Speaking
as an outsider traveling through, Australia certainly seems to have the most
transient, amorphous population I’ve ever witnessed. From our first day in
Adelaide all the way up to now, it seems like Australia is full of backpackers

Well we arrived in Chile at last but not without our share of trouble. Our luggage was misplaced on Auckland and when found a day later it was sent to Argentina instead. It is fair to say our bags have seen more of the world than we will on this trip.... Read more >

Jul är nått som inte existerar i Kina. Då Kinesiska kulturen hade fått sitt fäste gott och väl innan Jesus knatade runt på jorden finns såklart ingen anledning att fira hans födelse. Men är det nått kinserna gillar i dagens Kina så är det att konsumera ... Read more >

I had that “ohhhh yeah I don’t like cities” feeling while taking the bus through Plovdiv, but the old town section of the city is great. The Hiker’s Hostel is tiny and amidst historic, renovated houses that all have names, along really rough cobblestone ... Read more >

We got away from Niagara Falls fairly early for the longest (driving) leg of our journey 758 km (using the gps) and had little trouble on the way. Found out that speed limits mean very little in the usa. 65 mph = 85 mph (minimum), so we made the trip ... Read more >

To everything
there is a season. But October is not the season to be on the Black Sea
in Bulgaria. Nessebur's old Byzantine city is a UNESCO World Heritage
site but was pretty much deserted this weekend. Maybe, probably, it was
the bitter cold, ... Read more >
