So here are a few of my favorite videos from SEAsia.
The 1st one is this string tying ritual that Thais do when someone is leaving. It’s sort of them giving a blessing on the rest of our travels. This was after our stay in the Hill Tribes. We trekked back to Chiang Rai afterwards.
The next one was a surprise! You can kinda hear Adam explaining that Mike (the… Read More
I do hope this works… I miss all of these people and places very very much. Sorry they’re in no particular order and the captions don’t seem to work…
Love, Ellie… Read More
Here are a couple more photos that didn’t get in the last download. And for some reason the descriptions of each photo are not appearing on the blog. Oh well…my pen rai.… Read More
Hola! It’s Megan blogging from mi casa in Massachusetts. I cannot believe the trip is over. I miss everybody so much!! I went to Trader Joe’s and bought a tub of mandarins (clementines…) and they’re seedless! What is this nonsense? And as I suspected, talking about #2 is not as widely accepted here (told you, Maleea). Things that are nice: my bed! hot showers all the time! toilets! not paying… Read More
SORRY AMIGOS! This post is late only because we were all so busy last week, soaking up every last second of each other’s company and the central american atmosphere, trying to get our fix before it was too late…
We were stationed on the lovely island of Roaton, Hondorus, in a totally lux hotel (hot water shower, wood floors, superbeds…the works.), where we spent the majority of our days working… Read More
So… keyboards in Africa are a little sketch and often spacebars don’t work well. I’m actually not that thankful for meat at all. Definitely meant “me at.”
And on the Thanksgiving post I am fully aware that the first and last sentences are almost the same… Writing one blog post in two different countries doesn’t work very well.… Read More
Even though we’re entering the end of our journey I still feel it necessary to update you on what we did these past few weeks.
(written on Thanksgiving)
Thankful for:
-family for supporting meat all stages in my life
-this Carpe Diem group–couldn’t have picked a group more strange or more amazing
-our leaders for helping us through the process and becoming fantastic role models and even better friends
-new… Read More
Wow!! That little word doesn´t even go to express what I felt on the trek to Machu Pichu. It was beautiful sight after another. The whole trek was an absolutely amazing experience because our tour guides were the best but not only that but we had to work in order to see these one of a kind sites. I loved every moment of the hike. Even the uphills which were… Read More
Remember that time we sat in the airport for hella hours?…..Sinjaow from Ho Chi Minh! We arrived from Phu Quoc at around 5pm and have been sitting in the airport, patiently waiting for our next flight at 12am. Good times with good people, but not underwater this time. We cannot even begin to express the number of memories cultivated throughout this voyage abroad, but we probably should just write them… Read More
Hamjambo! As we close the chapter on our journey together through East Africa, we want to take a moment to thank all the friends and family back home for your continual love and support. The past few months have been full of challenges and life lessons, fun and adventure, and less-than-reliable internet. We as leaders are truly grateful to have been able to bear witness to this journey — we’ve… Read More
Our boogers are black…we’re back in Dheli.
Our final night was spent at the Wongden House, where we found ourselves 3 months ago on our very first night. Erin checks off the last day in her immaculate calendar, and Brianna zips up her duffel bag stuffed exclusively with Tibetan wool goods.
The countdown begins…15 hours till our flight to Hong Kong.
Last night we gathered on the roof by candlelight… Read More
So, it turns out if you’re on a boat for too long you become rather socially awkward.
Shocking, right?
Well, aside from the painful silences that accompanied several of the Cairns Dive Centre staff’s unfortunate jokes all too often, the occasional sea sickness and abrupt shortage of running water, the dive week was fantastic! (And I really do mean that.) I think I can speak for the entirety of our… Read More
Hello everyone! We have just arrived in Cairns after an impecable journey through the outback with our amazing tour guide Steve that we acquired through the company Groovy Grape! Our travels began when we arrived in a quaint little town called Alice Springs. As we filled up the bus that seated twenty one, we had no idea how excited and positive Steve was about his job. Our days were filled… Read More
What an amazing time our group has had on Phu Quoc island here in Vietnam. We’ve spent almost everyday learning new skills towards our scuba certifications which 7 out of our group recieved. Our digs have been quite splended with only a 10 second hop to the beach. The sea food as you would imagine has been amazing aswell and many of us stuffed our selfs silly with crab, elephant… Read More
Hola amigos y familias! Sorry for the delay in the blog post for last week, we have been busy as always! After our sad goodbyes at Tyler’s place, we loaded up and walked across the Costa Rican border to catch a bus to the Nicoya Peninsula. Our clan spent the past week at Playa Langosta on the pacific side of Costa Rica, working with turtles! Playa Langosta as well as… Read More
Hi families and friends, significant others and random readers!
Sorry for the delay with the blog. Each moment in McLeod Ganj ends up being too precious to find the time to sit in an internet café. I post from Delhi but wrote from McLeod (for the most past):
Our group arrived in McLeod Ganj, home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government over a week ago, and our days… Read More
