One of the first questions people ask about my volunteer experience is, "Was it scary?" My first instinct is to say no. Once I was in Salvador, I was immediately comfortable. And then I remember how I felt in the weeks leading up and on the way to Brazil. I was very apprehensive about what was…

What an incredible turn out....Thanks so much to Ekua for coordinating a great evening!  The Jade Bar was a cute little bar and very easy to spot.  Ekua had mentioned everyone would be meeting downstairs in the lounge and when we got down the stairs, the entire spot was FILLED w…

This is a cool museum if you go with children because there you have hundreds of experiments, it´s very interesting, your children and yourself will learn a lot and will have a lot of fun, there are a lot of games. You can see how the tornados form, you can do a huge bubbles, you can also feel you…

I started the day late as i woke up at around 11am, probably due to the clubbing and the alcohol the night before (though i only had but 1 beer). So it must have been travel fatigue. Anyway, my friend very kindly brought me to Wine Country, Sonoma Valley specifically as he said it's not too commer…

The American dream. New York, California, road trip, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Hawaii..

Meet up with travbuddies for a trip to Alcatraz and a gathering in San Francisco

Woke up under a grey sky. The flags on top of nearby hotels are flapping fiercely. Argh, the weather lady was right. By the time we finished breakfast, it started to rain. The storm is here. Our initial plan for the day was 1) San Francisco MOMA, 2) Lunch at our favorite dim sum place, 3) Driving a…

We made it!!!! We actually made it!!! We are in San Francisco!! I'm sitting here in my new home, with the view of the Golden Gate Bridge outside the open livingroom window. I can hear the cable cars clanging outside and the soft breeze on my face. Our luggage is piled up against the wall. Our …

There is no other way to describe this seatmate en route to London, perhaps from another planet?  Was seated on the very last row of the plane.  What could  I have expected after having purchased the ticket a week before the departure.  Sat in the window seat, (fo…

SEE ERIN'S VERSION HERE AND JULZ'S VERSION HERE OH AND OF COURSE TRINO'S  VERSION HERE...... Julz was 2 miles ahead of us on the freeway. We were on the celly chatting. Then I wanted to take a nap. Erin would forget to take photos of me every time I passed out in the car. Too bad I don’…

9 days in an Amazing State !!

A must see when in San Francisco. It was a cold day and hazy sky we could not see the bridge clearly. Nonetheless the crowds grew by the minute. Because we had taken a taxi to the bridge, we only managed a total of 25 minutes since the taxi driver could only wait so long. even though we had a car w…

Welcome to my travel blog. We only live ONCE (unless you are Buddhist) - and lately I wanted to do something about that. So I decided to explore the world (and myself) and make some-kind-of pilgrimage to learn and absorb all I can, and to give what I can. So, I left what I have to find what I don't…

We got up early in our last day!! And what for a day. In the great city of San Francisco. It is certainly one of the greatest places I have ever been, not only for it's beauty but also because of it's liberal climate. Whites, blacks but also an huge Chineze section, all kind of religions, but also,…

Here are some photos from the grand SF meetup! I felt like I had taken lots of photos, but as it turns out I didn't get nearly as many as I wanted to. So I look forward to seeing pics from others too~ Enjoy!
