Goodbye Nepal!

Published by WeiHu under Ireland

Pokhara was a brief break but my one month visa is just about up. We head back to Kathmandu via the tops of buses and enjoy the beautiful scenery from up top one last time. Kathmandu is noisy, smoggy and congested with traffic. It really feels like a terrible place to be after sending so [...]

Before I leave London I visited Leah who just moved to London for school. After taking several buses I met her on the south bank near Kings Cross station. The last time I saw Leah was at my goodbye party and it’s nice to finally see a familiar face after all this time. We decided [...]

To get to Turkey from Morocco one way flights cost between 800-1000 USD, while a flight from Gibraltar to London and also London to Istanbul totaled less than 300 USD. In addition, somehow my credit card information was stolen and charges started to [...]

Geneva Times Two

I arrive back to Geneva after a great time in Interlaken and head towards one of the only hostels in town. As I walk along the sidewalk pass the Ferrari dealership it starts to rain. I continue my pace. I know exactly where I am going and that shelter is just around the corner.

It is our last day in Interlocken and I awake early yet again and scramble to find an empty spot on the 7hour canyoning trip. Luckily the company that I had booked the rafting trip had spots available and I even got 10% off since I this was my second outing with them. We are [...]
