I was completely wrong. I arrived in Glasgow and it was gloomy, raining and frigid. I didn't even see the trees starting to push green buds. After I left the bus from the airport I didn't have much energy to look further - summoning the last bit of … [Read more...]

Volunteer Abroad For Less

February 20, 2018 by Caroline CLeave a Comment

Increasingly people want to escape the rat race and spend some time helping others from South America to the South China Sea. However, there is a catch, unless you have a couple of years spare to make a serious commitment with the US Peace Corps, who pay for everything, volunteering abroad isn't cheap.

💩 Happens When You Travel

February 10, 2018 by Abdul Rastagar6 Comments

I didn’t think much of it at first. His face was somewhat pale and the ever-present smile had been replaced by a slightly anguished expression. He mentioned he was cold but how could this be? We were in the middle of the hot and humid Cambodian jungle. Maybe it was just exhaustion from a long day of exploring Angkor Wat? I figured if we just rested a while, we’d be OK. Then 💩 happened. Literally. The next few hours were spent assisting him back … [Read more...]

It started directly at Changi airport, where I immediately spotted the living green wall in the arrivals hall … [Read more...]
