When I was eight I moved to Nepal in January 2002. I have since been to Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, India, Laos, Greece, Slovenia, Russia, Cyprus, France, Scotland, Morocco and Switzerland. I have driven through many more countries while travelling in Europe.

I love to travel and writing diaries about my travel experiences to inspire people to go travelling themselves. Travelling is such a worthwhile adventure and I would definitely say travel broadens the mind!

I will be blogging about a few of my experiences whilst abroad as I have recently found some old diaries. These are very old and were written from 2004 onwards (I was 11!) therefore the language is very mature.. not! But I hope you will enjoy them and find them humourous (as I have!)

In January 2012 I will be jetting off to the exotic islands of Fiji in the South Pacific, to volunteer as a teacher for three months. I am extremely excited but also quite anxious to be flying on my own but I can't wait! I shall be using this blog to write about my journey and all my adventures when I get there. Through writing about my experiences, I hope to inspire others, especially teenagers to get out there, explore and discover. There's life outside the UK and Europe!

Just a note to say that annoyingly with Blogger you have to begin from the bottom and read up!

I haven't worked out how to change this yet so that the oldest posts are at the top and readers would read in order to read the most recent post at the bottom.

So you don't get confused please visit the blog archive which begins at 2011 and goes down to 2013 so that you can read my blog in order.

Hope this makes sense, thanks :)

Day Four ~ Tuesday 17th January

Vinaka vakalevu ~ Thank you very much!


Had a better night's sleep although there was a massive storm and I thought the trees would fall through the roof :L The mariners have such an intense course compared to us and have to have lectures to study fish. It does look very fascinating though. Their course is brand new and involves marine research to protect the fish. Went to a different village today to do the summer school again with a much smaller group of 15 kids. The facepaints were trashed so we could only use blue and red but the kids had so much fun. They also made crowns but tipped half a ton of glitter on them! There were some amazing masks ~ a tiger and some suns. The other kids made bracelets and necklaces. We sat outside, right next to the sea and at lunch time the village women made lemon tea and buttery rotis ~ they were delicious. We then played ball and frisbee with them on the beach. I can't believe this is work! The kids got hold of our cameras. Uh oh! One of them, Vina, took mine and took pictures of EVERYTHING. Consequently, my camera then die. By the end the ground was COVERED in glitter, card, paper, beads and paint. It was worth it though to see the kids so happy and helping each other :). Again it was hard to go as they stood on the beach and waved to us. Aww. When we got back we spent hours painting penne pasta and shells from the beach for the kids to make bracelets and necklaces. For dinner we had potato, beans and fruit. We walked along to Lo's Tea Shop later and had delicious banana cake andd chocolate sauce, whilst digging our toes into the sand of the beach.
