No surprise to my family but am going on a little trip Leaving on 30th April returning 21st May.I was sitting quietly one cold winter afternoon when my feet started to itch and my Mother Teresa syndrome started to kick in and before I knew it I was booked to go to Cambodia to volunteer in an orphanage for 2 weeks. Obviously the easy life isn't for me. The move to Norfolk turned out not the way

SEOUL Irsquoll refrain from the cheesey Seoul soul comparisons. You know the ones ldquoSeoul the soul of Koreardquo. Those types.I rode the KTX train up to Seoul for the three day weekend over the 23rd 24th and 25th. My schools birthday was on the Friday which meant we didnrsquot have school. Have I mentioned how much I love Korea Anyway I decided kind of spur of the moment the Su

Heather the traveler strikes again So as you may know Irsquove been quite the busy little bee. Irsquove been working and spending time with my friends. Irsquove been adjusting to life in Asia learning Korean and trying to understand the culture more so as to not offend anyone. Well on top of that Irsquove spent my Saturdays the last two weekends taking daytrips around Busan. Yes

Teaching those lovely kids. Ever hear that Asian students are more studious and shyer than American students Or have you heard that they are always on their best behavior Well let me tell you kids are kids regardless of which country they come from.

We had a wander down to the beach in the afternoon and walked along the promenade. It's a really long beach and therefore nice and uncrowded. We then had another look round the main centre and were harassed every 2mins by people selling b

Right then im writing this a few days late but at last we have a decent internet connection. We arrived in Singapore last Monday or so and our booked 4bed dorm had somehow changed into a 17 person hellhole.

I'd always wanted to check out Bowen Island so was pleasantly surprised when Kenny booked a night over there. Only 20 minutes on the ferry from horseshoe bay meant a nice short journey there.The island is a real little getaway from the daily hustle and bustle and our bb was a real little hidden gem. The island is tiny and explored pretty easily. Our accommodation was overlooking Kilarney lake s
