Macedonia to Serbia – Travel Day
I had planned to get the 8am bus up to the cross and then come down before check out at 11am. Plans took a turn though when I slept until 9am. Instead I used the internet, checked out and then went up to the fortress, which was small and basic. Then I went back to the hostel to get my bags and caught the bus to Nis, Serbia.

Kuwait to Macedonia – Closing one door and opening another
On June 21st I finished work at Ajial Bilingual School in Kuwait knowing I would not return. I had had a wonderful two years teaching there but it was time to move forward and carry on with the next chapter in my life.

Shared Journeys – Ireland and Scotland
I spent the last two weeks sharing an incredible journey with my family.

We met in London, their flight landed at 11am(ish) and we checked into the airport hotel. Then it was into town for a day of not knowing where do eat, what to do, or how long things would take.

The hardest thing to plan is if you do an activity or if you lay on the beach that day. I did this once and it was a great experience. You have a bracelet or other…

Adventures in Istanbul
Getting to Istanbul My adventures in Turkey actually began December 26th in Bulgaria. I tried to catch the train to Istanbul in Veliko Tarnovo. There was something wrong with the tracks and the train had been rerouted. If I wanted to catch it I would have to wait until the next day or find a way to get to Stara Zagora, the next station. Luckily the couple that owned the hostel was willing to drive me if I could pay for gas. So after a late drive through the mountains I caught the overnight train to Istanbul. I was told not to book a bed in a berth but find…
