After hauling my huge rucksack on my back, grabbing my day pack and checking out of the San Francisco hostel, I embarked on my journey to Las Vegas. I took a bus and a 15 minuit walk to met my road trip partner in crime at Montgomery Bart station. From there we took the train... Continue Reading →
Another jam packed, fun and exciting day in San Francisco. It began early with a sociable breakfast looking out onto the Pacific ocean while chatting away over my peanut butter and jelly bagel. I am meeting all kinds of fascinating people here. Then we set off nice and early on the 28 bus to the... Continue Reading →
After a good night's sleep in the 24 bed dorm I was up bright and early ready to further explore San Francisco. I met a couple of people over my oatmeal breakfast who were also keen to make the most of the day despite the rainy morning. We were lucky enough that one of us... Continue Reading →

Just trying out some new career options. Maybe I should start a fitness YouTube channel. It could be quiet fun. https://youtu.be/lffsPJkrMhM However, not really sure I have the stamina for it. Think I'll stick to hydrology for now. Studying rivers is more my thing.
The one and only cinema in Dillon was showing Martian today, so we went along to see it.

The theatre was a respectable size and the audio and screen quality were good... Continue Reading →
