Okies. After 3 months and 5 countries I have been from the beach to the desert, the jungle, high altitudes, low altitudes and huge metropolises. Ive stayed in 24 hostels and spent the equivalent of 6.85 days on buses. I didnt go to hospital once, get robbed or ripped off (in any major way) or pay any bribes to the police. I was lucky not to experience any of the above but if you want to know how it all works you can ask Steve and Celia. Saw many a thing and met many a people.
These are a few of my favourite things...
Favourite Travelling Item: Ipod
