I paleonsrly also use EF College Break when traveling abroad. (That’s if I’m not backpacking).. My experiences have been absolutely amazing, and the age group is only from 18-26 which means there won’t be any older creepy people on the tours, haha.. They also guarantee to be the cheapest touring company!.. And the code Tech2009 now will save you money on tours with them..Feel free to email at anytime!

Well, while some of us have exams, others seem to be having an amazing time in exotic places eh! Lol. Pics look amazing! Don't even think about coming back more tanned than me! Ha. Miss you, hope you're well. XXX

Loved the tortoises and Costa Rica sounds really good fun. Zip lines are a must-do new activity - great that M enjoyed it too.

Love D

Brilliant photos and commentary on Fiji - really good impression of what it's like. Snorkelling there seems pretty cool - plenty of fruit and beer too. Must go there some time.Hope the Galapagos are great - different iguanas! Love D
