On the other side of this island, we arrived in Hawaii and found ourselves in a rainforest and lava paradise. We learned the art of permaculture, and [...]
Anybody who spends some time on the road, especially in hostels, will eat more than their fair share of Ramen. You know – the oriental noodle-cakes you boil for two minutes, add “flavour” packets, and then “enjoy”?
There are a number of reasons I object vehemently to this garbage:

I just found this article online, which hails Bangkok as the worst city in the world for traffic. So bad, in fact, that the police are trained in childbirth techniques, as hundreds of women are relegated to delivering their progeny…in the midst of traffic jams.

Part of the fun of living at a hostel is in meeting all sorts of people with a variety of backgrounds and stories to tell. And it’s amazing to discover how many people are out there who are going through (or have gone through) similar changes in life as Kelly & I did.
