I get quite a few images of jellyfish emailed to me. Once in a while I receive an image that is unusually beautiful, like this one. I’ve identified this jellyfish as Pelagia noctiluca, commonly known as a Purple-striped jellyfish. It is reported to have a rather strong sting. This jelly was photographed by Chris Kiely [...]
BeachHunter Quoted in Venice Magazine
A while back I was contacted by writer Jenni Stahlmann concerning an article she was writing for Venice Magazine. Would I do a short phone interview? I did, and Ms. Stahlmann used a few quotes from the interview in her article, which explores the effect Venice beach has on life in that city. Venice Magazine [...]

AlexWillTravel.com: Hungary is Alex’s Classroom
With an education in accounting, management and international business, Alex Hoskinson discovered doing tax returns for a large company was – simply put – dreadful. It was his turning point to follow up on recommendations to teach English in foreign countries. He chose Hungary. The descriptions of his experiences are genuinely enlightening, plus you get a Hungarian word of the day!

Vietnam Phu Quoc Island Vinh Long
Our journey over the border to Phu Quoc Island was a long one. After a boring bus ride and time consuming border crossing we bought what we thought was a fast boat ticket but ended up on some falling apart old rickety thing that took 4 uncomfortable hours It was all worth it though.Phu Quoc isn't your standard backpacker destination with parts of the island dominated by upmarket resorts ho
last day at finca luna
In den 10 Tagen die ich nun schon hier bin hatte ich ab und zu das Gefuehl dass ich hier meine Zeit verschwende. Wir haben nur wenig im Garten gearbeitet und ich hab geglaubt dass ich ausser aus den vielen spannenden Buechern hier nicht viel ueber Permakultur gelernt habe. Inzwischen habe ich aber gemerkt dass ich einiges in der wohl wichtigsten Disziplin in Sachen Permakultur und Oekodoerfer
Sheffield Wish you were here
I returned and you werent here just a note. Not even a note as such. You opened the door to me then left with your dog taking the dog cage too. I noticed the things that you had left and taken. For an hour I repeatedly looked for you in the same places in the note on the sofa in your room on the phone screen and in the absolute emptiness and silence. You are not here to hear the new
INDONESIA JAKARTA LE MERIDIEN HOTEL
I made a short business trip earlier this month to Jakarta. The first time back after perhaps 10 years. Interestingly the city looked a lot the same perhaps more shopping malls. But Jakarta was one of the first Asian megacities to start building upwards so the skyline was familiar. For those that like night life Blok M is still thereI stayed at Le Meridien Jakarta Hotel on Sudirman whic
sex and the hot city
Its hot as hell in Dar and Ive been taking more showers than I can count. Yesterday I walked back from the local craft market and my shirt was completely soaked through with sweat. I finally broke down and hopped in a Bajaji driven by a skinny guy wearing a Michael Jackson tshirt. And when the electricity goes out its especially lovely because so does the air conditioning in my room.
HuQingPing Best Motorcycle Road in Shanghai
Imagine there's a road where you can ride a motorcycle or scooter on hundreds of times back and forth and not get bored with it. If such a road exists it had better be able to pack it all in to make the motorcyclist keep coming back for more and more. It should have smooth surfaces tons of places to stop for food gas and coffee clean air sparse population nice scenery and natural enviro
Flinders Ranges
Hi YallIts now Sunday 13th March and were at Minlaton on the Yorke Peninsula. We had a great time in the Flinders Ranges staying at Wilpena Pound campsite. We took a really exciting flight over the Pound in a light plane. Its the only way to see the spectacular natural Amphitheatre formation of the mountains. The flight was a bit bumpy at times but well worth the terrorAfte
Chianti Day 1 to 3
Day One The train is speeding through the grey sites of northern England and I begin to think that it has been almost 3 years since I decided that I had had enough of spending my life on the motorway quit my job and flew off to the other side of the world. I have spent most of my life travelling in some form or another mostly for work but never found a place to really call home. My best friend

Internationale vrouwendag
Op 8 maart was er internationale vrouwendag. Ook in Senegal lieten de vrouwen dit gebeuren niet zomaar passeren. Toespraken werden er afgewisseld met muziek en dans.
No meat no glory
Een land leer je kennen door de eetgewoontes van zijn bewoners heb ik ooit gehoord. Als onderdeel van mijn aanpassingsproces meende ik dat het tijd was om een deel van deze eetgewoontes eens uit te proberen. Daarom ter orintatie de dieetkaart van de gemiddelde Namibir in Kunene ontbijt vlees met een vettige melkpap lunch vlees met maispap als ze eens gek willen doen avondeten vlees
Rajing it till the wheels fall off
We've let the blogging go off the boil a bit but have kept on full steam traveling North and we've seen a lot. From the beaches of northern Karnataka and Goa where the accommodation is cheap the beer cheaper still and the warm sea perfect sand and overrelaxed atmosphere made us lose the best part of two weeks we headed to Hampi which is the nearest you can get to playing real life Indiana Jones
Onderwijs
We bezochten ook een aantal scholen op niveau van het kleuter lager en secundair onderwijs. Ondanks de grote infrastructurele en materile noden water sanitair gebouwen klaslokalen didactische materialen ... weten de scholen en de leerkrachten op een creatieve wijze om te gaan met deze beperkingen. De kleuters leren er al Frans vanaf de kleuterschool. Het onderwijs verloopt er gedisciplin
