  • Berlin Carnival 2015 – Day 1

    Berlin Carnival was over a month ago now but I’ve been really busy and haven’t had time for my blog. This year I went with three friends who had never been before, so it was pretty cool to be the ringleader when last year I had to go by myself…

  • Days 6 and 7 in Sal, Cape Verde

    The whole time in Cape Verde, my mum and I had been thinking about trying flyboarding (this watersport where they basically attach jet-packs to your fleet so you fly out of the sea). There’s a flyboarding stand by the beach near the pier with lots of photos and things making…

  • Sex on stage in Jamaica!!

    I made a couple of Jamaican friends while I was there, and I had nothing to do one evening so I went to the bar where one of these friends, Jody, works, also in the mountains near Ochi. Her bar is really small so it often closes early, like midnight.…
