It’s weird to be unemployed. Every time a contract/job finishes, there’s always this downtime that inevitably occurs. During these periods in between jobs, I’ve volunteered, gone back to school, picked up a new hobby, and just taken the time to relax. This is the first time I’ve ever had this downtime outside of Canada. I spent … Read more → Jaco – and it's not about Michael…
Just got back from Jaco Island… at the eastern end of Timor-Leste. It’s a long ride to get out to the point (about 6 hours on some very questionable roads), but well worth the effort. The scenery changes (i.e. it’s really dry since it’s the dry season) and there is a definite shortage of civilization/people… The east is where you’ll also find the traditional Timorese spirit house … Read more → Greek Photos
I’ve just uploaded some photos from the Timor-Leste -> Bangkok -> Athens -> Santorini trip… You can check them out here. In case you haven’t read about why I went to Greece, you kind find the short blurb in my last post. Wedding in Santorini
Just finishing up on our trip to Greece to attend my cousin’s wedding in Santorini…. I think I’ve had enough souvlaki, gyros, and greek salad for a life-time. The trip has had it’s ups and downs – the nauseous boat cruise, the historic Greek ruins, and the olive oil. But the highlight was definitely seeing my cousin get married overlooking a beautiful sunset on the volcanic island of Santorini… … Read more → After 5 minutes, can you trust your gut?
It’s a weird feeling… not the conjunctivitis I caught in late May, but you know the one; where within 5 minutes of meeting someone you either like them or not. There’s not too much of a problem if you like them because you can just continue talking to them, trading stories, exchanging ideas or cracking jokes. But, it’s when you don’t like them after 5 minutes and you still have to … Read more → Breathing in Baucau
Had a chance to get out of Dili last weekend and visit the second largest city in Timor-Leste. Compared to Dili, Baucau is a sleepy town about 120km east of the capital city. From what we saw, there isn’t much going on in the town, so you can guess how it is in even smaller towns in the country. Having a car helps in this country, and just a … Read more → Bumming on the beach
I finally am able to sit down to share my last weekend in photos. We made a decision to get out of Bangkok for the weekend and it was definitely worth it. Leaving at 7am, we arrived in Hua Hin, a beach town/resort area for Thais and tourists, at about 11am – … Read more → Organizing can be FUN or a pain in the A$$
After a suprisingly eventful January, I came back from Australia to a slight buzz in the air preparing for a conference for the Canadian organization that sent me to Thailand. Whether I’m a control freak or not, I took on the responsiblity of planning and organizing this conference, and a great experience to … Read more → Oz-tralia
Just spent the last two weeks enjoying the sun, sand and beaches downunder… The last time I was in Oz was about 7 years ago. It was under very different circumstances this time around and I really enjoyed my time there. I visited friends … Read more → Adventures leads to happiness and vomiting
The holidays season was eventful for me. Sitting here in my cousin’s room trying to update my blog is a little bit strange. First I’m on her computer, second I just arrived in Sydney … Read more → |
