I’ve just spent all day combing through guide books and planned tour itineraries to come up with my own special plan for the 6-week jaunt around South East Asia I’m going on with my two friends Maritza and Rosa (yes, I recruited them from camp) come November, meaning I am no longer going on the … More SE Asia Itinerary

Plans have … More Where To Next?
This really should have been last week’s POTW but I got a bit sidetracked by the whole goodbye element of my photos. So here’s one from Washington DC, where we all stood under the Connecticut sign on the WWII memorial, celebrating our time spent there at Camp Sloane this summer.

Last week, on our last full day in Toronto, I ventured up the CN Tower, one of the world’s tallest towers, with some friends. It offered some incredible views, spanning across the entire city, rivalling those of the Empire State Building!
Having recently spent a few days in Toronto with some friends, I thought I’d share my experiences in the form of a top 10 list of things to do if you ever venture that way, to one the greatest cities I’ve ever visited. So in no particular order… 1. Take a trip up the CN … More Top 10 Things To Do In Toronto
If you’re looking for a place to stay that’s central to Toronto’s main attractions, has an awesome atmosphere and excellent standards, then the HI Toronto is the place to be.
