Saturday 25th Janaury 2025.At this point I’ve been away a week … and it honestly feels like months! I think this happened before? Time felt it was moving slowly. Oh no that’s the opposite.. but it’s not feeling like time is escaping me. I guess that’s the beauty of not setting an alarm, and taking …
Friday 24th janaury 2025I woke up and had a snoozey morning, which was quite nice. Everyone dwindled away making their own journeys to Ella and then it was my turn. I said goodbye to the hostel and the lady organised me a Tuk Tuk and gave me a Kit Kat. It was the same driver …
Spoiler alert, yes I did visit a Monastery with the intention to stay for 2 nights and I did leave early. When I was explaining this to the people at the hostel I went to in Kandy, one guy remarked “you went to a monastery and didn’t expect it to be like that?”, well no, …
Sunday 19th January 2025 I was so surprised that I slept in until 12pm. I mean I did go to bed at like 8am. It’s weird staying in a house stay because I almost felt like I had to get up in case the host Steph was worried about me ?! I’m so weird. So …

So this is a story all about how (did you sing that like it was the song from Fresh Prince?) I went from being totally anxious about something, counting the days until we could leave, to loving it and wishing we had gone sooner, kicking myself for not getting more involved, and focusing on future …
So after an eventful first night and first experience of couch surfing, we were found ourselves staying with a very chilled out lovely guy called Pana, in a house that was open plan. Like literally, there were only 2 walls in the kitchen and downstairs lounge. It was beautiful. A sanctuary. You could sit in …
20th March 2023. This is kind of click bait because it all turned out alright in the end (it always does) but it was a pretty mad first night in La Fortuna! To save money on accomodation Hollie signed up to a website called Couch Surfing and we arranged to stay with a guy called …
13th -14th March. Hollie and I were reunited at the Wet Nose Project and worked a few days together and then got our 2 days off. It only worked out as 1 night away because we still had to rotate the dogs until 8pm the night before our day off, so couldn’t travel anywhere. So …
