We woke up at around 5am to drive three hours to our surf lessons in Byron Bay. We get there and wait to get picked up. A white van pulls up in front of us and a quintessential super surfer comes out of the driver seat and says “G’day mates” unironically. His name is David. […]

All I knew what was happening today was that we were going “canyoning”…whatever that meant. We drive about two to three hours inland to the Blue Mountains and stop at a hostel. We are greeted by a man named Aidan. He gets us to sign some forms and goes through the day with our guide. […]

The alarm was supposed to go off at 8am, I was awake by 5am and very very hungry. We try to sleep some more, but it doesn’t work. I decided to look for a breakfast place. Using TripAdvisor, I pick a place called Two Ant Café. It was about a 10 minute walk from where […]

Waking up in GuangZhou at around 5am, we get our stuff together and head to the free continental breakfast buffet. Chinese breakfast. Yes. We have our breakfast noodles and tea, and head out to the free airport shuttle and arrive at the airport. We then realized that neither of us brought hats or sunglasses. We […]

We flew out from Heathrow to GuangZhou, China, their airport is called “BaiYun” which means “white cloud”. We thought that we would have to sleep in the airport for the 14 hour layover, especially since we would have needed a visa to leave the airport. Once we landed, we followed the sings to transfer and […]

We woke up an hour before our alarm would’ve gone off. We pack our stuff and go down for breakfast. The guide shows up and takes us on our journey, however, he left right before the first one. The driver takes us an hour and a half away from the city to the top of […]

The alarm goes off at 5 am. We have a flight to catch. I call an uber and we make our way. The first thing that happens is that we spend an hour in the check-in line, and then we get McDonald’s, some paint, a puzzle book, and brushes, and clay. The day before we […]

We slept in, as we slept till we naturally woke up at 8 am. Grabbed breakfast, grabbed our stuff, and went to our rickshaw. We found a mechanic who diagnosed our rickshaw, there was something wrong with the piston and it would cost 3000 rupees to fix. That is about 50 American dollars. We decided […]

We woke up with every intention to make it to the finish line by early afternoon. We could not start the rickshaw. The spark plug was broken and some random Indian had come and help us. Finally, we got on the road. Everything was going smoothly until the spark plug just completely stopped working and […]
