Europe August-September 2005

The night train to Florence was one of the highlights of the trip for me. I tried to get some sleep early on because I was scared of missing the stop, but it was all too exciting. Changed at Pisa at 3:30am and fell asleep, woke up then nearly got off...

Well we are currently on the train from Zurich to Innsbruck. Beautiful scenery. We are now in an compartment train with two other girls who can't be any more than 16 and are smoking. That is one thing I don't think I will be able to get used to. Almost...

Europe Gap Year 2005-2006

Have really enjoyed our time in London. Still feel like we're on holiday even though we have to work. London Weather: Not that bad! Even winter was bearable and the summer days are long and (mostly) sunny. Maybe we struck a good year? Londo...

Europe '05

Oh God, Rome… We went there twice. We were there for a total of about 8 days? Something like that anyway. It was so unbelievably hot that I wanted to kill people. Our cabin (another camping ground) thankfully had air-conditioning otherwise I think...

Let´s play the traveling game.

That's what I like in my cities. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg blaring through the streets. We decided to take a mini detour to Budapest. It's been muggy and chock full of fun stuff. The day we got here, we discovered that President Bush was following us i...

 

Eurotrip. Summer. 2005.

My favourite parts of visiting Whiltshire were the road trips to Stonehenge, Avebury circle, the white horses, haunted pubs and crop circles! England is enchanting. I was excited to visit Stonehenge, it was somewhere that I'd always wanted to vis...

 

APs European Vacation

Musee D'Orsay: awesome. Sculptures rocked the house. Three in particular reminded me of the superior AP, Diz and me. Hard to explain why. There was also a painting that screamed Rohan. Waves of purple. Cool stuff. Versailles: also pretty awesome. Cr...

 

Our 'European Vacation' 2006

Phew! Finally made it to Paris after a gargantuan effort packing up our lives in London. We were working 16-18 hour days just trying to sort through all the crap we've accumulated over the past 4 years. But we managed to get the boxes packed and sent o...

 

France, Monaco & Itlay. 2001.

When the plane approached Nice, everyone in my class was looking out the windows where you could see we were right above the Mediterranean Sea and so close to the shore line. Nice was nothing like any of us had expected! Our teacher hadn’t given us a...

Europe 2007

I love Berlin! It has to be one of my favorite cities that I have visited. It is huge! I guess it's nine times the size of Paris, but not nearly as many people. While the city is rich with history, it lacks a lot of the aesthetic architectural land...

2001 - A Corsican Odyssey

My First Brathay Expedition, in fact my first real expedition full stop, was to Corsica in the Summer of 2001. The aim was to walk the fearsome GR20, reputably Europe's hardest long-distance footpath; 125miles and 4,000m of ascent in a little over 2wee...
