So, my living situation has much improved this week: I moved from Kingston into the mountains just outside of the city. The climate up here is much nicer, there is no air and noise pollution and it doesn't take me an average of ten minutes to cross the street outside my house - rather I tend to walk in the middle of the road here with an average of 50 cars passing per day… The magic word is WWOOF again: there is a total of 1 (one) WWOOFing places here in Jamai...

Finally, I can say something about the floorball project I came here to work for. I gave it a month so I wouldn't have to report anything negative but it is still difficult. It's more than a month since I arrived and I certainly had a good time getting to know my new home and its surroundings. I also had 3 trainings with my club so far. I love my club! It is organized by a community center in a little village outside Spanish Town. The community is small and stron...

The landscape is extremely beautiful everywhere as soon as you leave the city - to whichever direction. I was quite surprised at first when I saw that the hills seem to be made out mainly...

As it seems, the predominant wind direction here is north-east, meaning that there is the Blue Mountains between the weather front and Kingston. So literally every day you can see the rain in the mountains and hardly a drop every reaches Kingston. I must say that this is the worst frustration of my time in Kingston so far. It is about as hot here as in Miami, although far not a...

Is it possible to travel too much? Somehow the more I travel the more similar all countries feel to me. Every country obviously has its pros and cons and nature and birds are different and every country has its own beauties, but when it comes down to everyday life, well really, there is not that much difference at all. People all over the world get up in the morning and go to work, they eat, sleep, do their shopping… Sometimes when I am half asleep or wandering...
