More 2p2ers in Ohio

Posted on by

Straight from Josh's house I went to visit another group of 2p2ers i.e. members of the twoplustwo forum in Columbus. I only actually stayed in Columbus for 1 night and then we went on a 3 day trip to Andy's lakehouse on Lake Tappan a couple of hours east of Columbus. The trip was really fun the weather was awesome so we just chilled in the sun with beers and went swimming in the lake which

Washington DC

Originally I was gonna stay with another 2p2er here but thanks to an evil GPS which sent us in the wrong direction I ended up missing my bus and the timing didn't work out in the end. Instead I arrived at 5am and made my way to the hostel which was small and shabby but very cosy and friendly. There weren't any staff there so I just curled up on a couch in the common room and slept until about 1

MARS

I've been at Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society for almost two weeks. I'd say that on average I spend 75 of my day cleaning things for animals and 25 of my day preparing food and medicine for animal. There is also a tiny bit of filling out forms. It is pretty awesome and I wish I had more time here.MARS takes in all kinds of birds and small mammals for rehabilitation. They kindof speciali

We arrived in Phuket at 1220am after a traumatic journey from Chiang Mai I was sick again. Really sad to leave Chiang Mai and it wasn't helped by the grossness of our airport hotel in Phuket easily the worst hotel we have stayed in so far we were really glad it was just for one night. The next morning we transferred to the Shanti Lodge which was absolutely gorgeous like an oasis full of b

Boston MA

I arrived at Boston and spent the day exploring the city centre which was really nice. It was definitely difficult to walk around all day in the humidity but I enjoyed it nonetheless. That night and the following day I stayed with another 2p2er who again was super friendly and hospitable and had a great house. After that I headed to Cambridge which is basically part of Boston as far as I coul

Week 2 time to start teaching

Trying to add pics but none of these computers are allowing me. As soon as I can I'll add a few. So before we start the teaching there's still a little time during the weekend for some fun in Morelia. Spent the weekend at the tequila sunset hostel which I would definitely recommend to anyone who plans on passing through. The guys who work there are great you meet interesting people and it's cl

Oh zo mooi Galapagos….

Wauw de Galapagos....wat een bijzondere plek is dat En ja er zijn veel toeristen en sommigen denken soms net even toch wat dichterbij een dier te gaan staan dan de regels voorschrijven maar over het algemeen loopt iedereen netjes volgens de parkregels over de paden op deze paradijselijke eilanden Gelukkig weten we tegenwoordig beter dan in Darwins tijd op welke manier we de natuur daar het

Far too healthy in my opinion.Then off out of Toronto heading towards Kingston.The freeway is 401 4 because there are 4 lanes. We head north along the shore of lake Ontario.Our first stop is at the big
