Couch surfing.

A good friend told me about this organisation today over a falafel wrap, soy flat white and refresher juice. And after a good 3 hours of surfing the site i've decided that it is amazing!

www.couchsurfing.org - the philosophy is that you donate your couch for travellers to sleep on and, visa versa travel around the world, sleeping on friendly strangers' couches. This is everything i love about mankind. We have so much potential to be generous, kind, and welcoming!

In other news, i'm leaving in 2 days! It's starting to sink in as well. I'm going to miss everyone so much. At the same time i'm so excited to meet new people! It's all a bit terrific really...

much love.

Akuapem Hills

This is a photo of where i'll be in Ghana (Akuapem Hills). I can't wait to be seeing this view for myself & taking my own photos, and posting them here (ofcourse).

4, 3, 2, 1, LIFT OFF!

it's about 13 days til i depart to go on an epic journey to West Africa, then to London, UK, and wherever else i can get a hold of! and i've been doing a bit of research into ECO-TRAVEL. eco-travel is a way of travelling that has a minimal detrimental impact to the local and global environment/eco-system. such behaviours as; respecting cultural values; using sustainable transport; and supporting the local economy, all contribute to being an eco-traveller. i think this is a great way to minimise your impact, while maximising your overseas experience.

only about half a dozen more shifts left at work, one more doctor's visit. now just packing and buying all the neccesities (lots of mosquito repellent!)

until then,

love.
