Just a quick post this May Day of 2008. I had plans to spend the day with my amigas in Salamanca, but when I arrived at the bus station there were no more tickets. Instead of traveling on a later bus by myself I decided to see what May Day is all ... Read more >

Barcelona is good.  I like it.  It´s an old town with a new feel.  And unlike Madrid it feels like it´s on the up and up.  They are havig a bit of a boom right now with the port being the biggest in the Mediterranean (it overtook Marseilles a few years ... Read more >

Madrid and Grenada

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 | By besoka | Views [707]

OK, quick thoughts from an internet cafe in Grenada (cut and pasted in later because World Nomads is down at the mo).   First, the meeting with SCB in Sweden was great and very interesting.  No luck on the work experience though - looks like they´re ... Read more >

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 | By missmelissa | Views [583]

My train from Alicante arrived in Madrid around 6pm last Saturday. Decked out in capris and a t-shirt, I was greeted by gray skies that threatened to burst any minute. Puddles of recently fallen rain were everywhere and I was grateful that I´d already ... Read more >

Santiago de Chile era un punto prioritario en mi viaje. Era una gran oportunidad para compartir unos días con Victor, que había vuelto a Chile después de más de ocho años en Europa (España y Bélgica). Después del tute que llevaba en el cuerpo, ... Read more >

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 | By matsmith | Views [750]

The duathlon started at 16.00, and having to travel on the 'Euskotren'-or Topo from San Sebastian meant a 3 hour journey even though the bus could get there in 1 hour!. We left nice and early 'cos Gernika is famous for being bombed by Hitler before the ... Read more >

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 | By sixto | Views [649]

La mañana que llegué a Torres del Paine llovía mansa pero constantemente. El cielo cubría por completo las montañas y la previsión meteorológica anunciaba lluvias para dos días. Los veinte mochileros que llegamos ese día no sabíamos qué hacer.... Read more >

Week 3:: Sweet, Simple and way too wordy...

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 | By missmelissa | Views [588]

It´s unbelievable how quickly the past week has flown by and even harder to imagine that one week from now I will be settling into my new home in Madrid. My first week in Alicante seemed to crawl by as I struggled to overcome jetlag and adapt to ... Read more >
