Hello everyone, Sorry it's been such a long time in getting our act together and letting you all know where we are now living and what we're doing! To cut a long story short, we didn't take to Vancouver as much as we'ed hoped to so we went on a little road trip to Whistler and loved the place, found a flat (very hard to do up here) and found jobs. We've been here nearly a month now and are settling in to normal life again of sleeping, working, eatting but with...

All my desires to see rodeo drive and sunset blvd disappeared in an instant, I wouldn't recomend the place to anyone. But out on the open road was fantastic, we had to sleep i...

Well our blog about the Galapagos might have sounded rather romantic but there was nothing romantic about the 2 weeks that followed after that when we embarked on the adventure that is volunteering with wild animals in Ecuador and crazy Ecuadorian people! We can laugh about it now but running for our shallow little lives up an embankment because "lions can`t climb" was our reality! but more about that later... The place had so many more animals than ...
