Sunday I probably never mentioned it, but when I was in Goa, India, staying at the yoga retreat for ten days, I met several lovely Europeans. Two of them were Jo and David, a delightful young couple from London who were just beginning their travels ... Read more >

First Days in London

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 16 Jun 2014 | Views [353]

I arrived in London on a Thursday afternoon. My first impression: London is diverse! I might not have noticed this since America is very similar, but since I haven’t been in America these past months, and most other countries are incredibly homogenous, ... Read more >

Train to London

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 13 Jun 2014 | Views [405]

Today, I’m on the train from Delft to London. I thought it would be cheaper than flying and I’d get to go through the Chunnel. Talk about sticker shock! The ticket was 202 euro one way. And on the train from Rotterdam to Brussels, I didn't ... Read more >

What an absolutely adorable little town Delft is! I shall definitely stay here a bit. I arrived on Saturday night on the train after a long day of tramping around Amsterdam. It was the cheapest place I could find to stay on a Saturday night anywhere ... Read more >

Utrecht

NETHERLANDS | Saturday, 7 Jun 2014 | Views [433]

First Impressions After a confusing exit from the train station, and a frustrating detour down a thoroughfare that was under construction, and a long walk dragging my suitcase behind me, I finally reached the oh-so-pleasant city center of Utrecht.... Read more >

Amsterdam

NETHERLANDS | Tuesday, 3 Jun 2014 | Views [411]

Pretty easy flights today to go from Bangkok to Amsterdam, but man am I thirsty. Flying really takes the water out of me. Amsterdam's Schiphol airport is surprisingly plain. And the luggage is taking forever! I really would have thought the luggage ... Read more >

Bangkok

THAILAND | Sunday, 1 Jun 2014 | Views [496]

Thursday - First Impressions So strange. They drive on the wrong side of the road here. We were just in Cambodia and they didn't do that. I wonder how they change sides between countries. We didn't cross the border on land so I don't know. But I'm ... Read more >

Siem Reap and the Amazing Angkor Wat Temples

CAMBODIA | Thursday, 29 May 2014 | Views [462]

We arrived in Siem Reap late at night, exhausted from a 9 hour bus ride that we thought was only going to be 7 hours. Luckily, our hotel was nice. Quiet. Off the beaten track. Clean and spacious. We immediately took showers and dropped into bed. Day ... Read more >
