Angie, Josie and I, plus Joanne from San Fransisco who we picked up in Prague, took a little road trip to Southern Bohemia to a little town called Cesky Krumlov - a must-see according to so many fellow hostellers. (And it was). The whole thing just ... Read more >

There is a legend here about a creature called Golem. On the north side of the old town is a large Jewish quarter (where our dear Franz Kafka was born and died). Golem is essentially a Jewish Frankenstein - made by a Rabbi, not a scientist. Some say ... Read more >

Despite first impressions from my ghetto-stylin' hostel, what everyone says about Prague is true: it is beautiful! I've had 5 days here on my own. (I'm still always a little surprised by how much I enjoy being on my own.) Taking it slow since Angie and ... Read more >

MOROCCO | Saturday, 30 Jun 2007 | Views [994] | Comments [1]
In the amazing coastal town of Essouaira (it takes a good few weeks to learn how to pronounce it right, which can be a problem when trying to find a bus that goes there), we discovered, among many other things, the deep love that Moroccans have for music.... Read more >

This is just to let you know I'm in Morocco now. I flew in to Marrakech where a friend of Jonathan & Leslie's picked me up. Bruce, as it turns out, is from Austin and we have many friends in common - had to come to Morocco though to finally cross ... Read more >

SPAIN | Wednesday, 20 Jun 2007 | Views [694]
(Again, my apologies for not keeping up with my stories. Things won't necessarily be in order, but at least here's a little somethings.) So, after Egypt, on June 1, I headed to meet my good friend Angie in Granada. Had no idea what I was in for. In ... Read more >

EGYPT | Friday, 8 Jun 2007 | Views [782]
This is the feeling I had as we careened through the streets of Cairo. The driving style there is similar to Indo, but they don´t even bother putting lines on the highways since they know noone follows them (which i thought was quite efficient). There ... Read more >

SINGAPORE | Tuesday, 22 May 2007 | Views [571] | Comments [1]
Yesterday I found the most beautiful park I've been in. I've always considered Singapore to be clean, uptight (you know, chewing gum in banned), and a bit sterile. My experience this time around however has changed my mind! During my quite extensive ... Read more >

SINGAPORE | Tuesday, 22 May 2007 | Views [543]
I hatched the concept for this article on Sunday night, after my first full day in Singapore. I had just returned from the National Gallery (conveniently in walking distance). I was more than 'well fed' in the consuming incredible art all day sense.... Read more >

1. Reconnecting with boarding school friends Sonya & Jason (married, expecting baby #1 very soon) in Bangkok, and Mike Knox in Chiang Mai. Bangkok was nice and chill. Surprisingly, everything we needed was in walking distance - all variety of food, ... Read more >

Tired of my city-girl ways, I signed up for a ‘trek’. Around Chiang Mai area are hills, lots of trees, rivers, tribes, waterfalls, elephants- you know, Thai countryside. Just what the soul needed. I took my first elephant ride through the jungle, ... Read more >

Yes, I took another train ride. I don't know why, but I love them so much. This one was 12 hours, 8am to 8pm from south thailand to the north. Wonderful. And this one, unlike the Java train, had no TV. Only the peaceful rumbling of the train itself, ... Read more >

THAILAND | Monday, 14 May 2007 | Views [463]
I'm noticing a pattern - i'm landing myself in a lot of big cities these days. Not sure how I feel about that. I'm quite sure I never would've gone to Bangkok, however, had not my friend from boarding school, Sonya, been there. Her and her husband, Jason, ... Read more >
