Pearl of the South Pacific.... Sydney!

Wow! I'm sorry for being SOO bad about keeping you all updated! Sydney has been FANTASTIC to Kelly and I, and I can't wait to share it all with you! :) First - our accomodation. We are staying with Kelly's host mom's sister and her husband in Sydney. This not only saved us money, but they...

Representin' Team USA - with my BOOTAY! :)

Wow! What a fun-filled, BUSY past two days! Yesterday morning we got up early and got ready to head out on the reef! My 2nd time, Kelly's first! We took a different boat/tour this time and I much enjoyed it because there were WAY less people and the staff were AMAZING. Kelly scuba dived...

Final Days at M.E.S.S.

My apologies for not writing as regularly as I have previously! It has been a BUSY week!! Overall, school this week went VERY smoothly. I did not write a single pink ticket, because I believe that I have the behavior of the classroom under control. I did however keep a few students in at...

l'arrivee

Le voyage commence bien, l'avion a une fuite de kérosène. Le 11 septembre on nous envoie à l'hôtel Le Méridien à Paris puis dix heures au Orchard à Singapore. On est arrivé crevés et avec deux jours de retard à Sydney. Mais deux jours ce n'est rien quand on part un an. Voilà bien longtemps...

The first community....

We crammed our stuff into Jude's already over-flowing car, and drove the thirty minutes or so out of Lismore, past Mullumbimby to Kijiri Community, a small place of 120 acres with just six properties, nestled deep in a secluded valley at the bottom of a winding unsealed road. When the rain came...

Final Weeekend in Southern Queensland

What a WEEKEND! It was busy, crazy, and full of adventures! Friday, we went to Nan and Pops, and AMAZINGLY I actually won some money playing cards! They said I was officially the big winner of the night; I still haven't figured out whether that was because they let me win, or if all of the...

on the community, (#1)

A long and roundabout journey brought us to our new wwoof hosts in a new state, on Kijiri community near Mullumbimby in New South Wales. A 3hr bus ride to Byron Bay, a four hour wait in Byron (soaking in the local colour: deadheaded dudes in tie-dye, acid-casualties and dog-on-a-string types,...

...rainin' on Friday...

What a Friday! The day started off alright. It was particularly warm and I remember thinking to myself that the kids were going to ROAST in our classroom. If you look at the pictures of my class, they were taken right outside of our classroom. Each building like ours houses 2 classes of 26 or so...

to the city!

After the peace, greenery and rustic feel of KinKin Souls, Brisbane was a jolt, though not necessarily a completely negative one! We arrived on greyhound (ahh, faithful greyhound, I won't miss it at all when I'm home!), caught a quick-train ride across the city and arrived in the...
