How to organise life. First steps.

About a year ago, oh let's see..no...over a year ago, or maybe about 2 years ago even? Who knows. Anyway, I decided to change something. After finishing two faculties of studies, being stuck to the same job for a long time, where I didn't really need to have any education, wanted to jerk my life somehow. I grabbed my boyfriend and after reaching the deadline point, being frustrated enough with daily-routine, we set off to London. Our first stop to accomplish our greater plan, which was and still is - to go for a grand journey, life and unforgettable trip to the very east edge of the Planet Earth. That's metaphor, obviously, but the idea remains. India, Nepal, Sri Lanka,  Indonesia, and whatever else comes, we're gonna get there!

But...

The first thing was toput together enough money to do it, certainly, which seemed to be not very easy at all. But what your country can't give you, you may find in the other one (sic!). So here we are, after almost a year in UK we could continue. But then, unexpectedly, came a notice from Spain - I got in to the Friends of the Earth voluntary programme associated with disseminating environmental awareness and working with renewable energies, within an educational centre etc. Big thing! So I'm going. We're going to postpone our trip, but still gaining some time to prepare ourselves better. Always look for the bright sides ;)

Investing in the future, it's what it is!

That's in a shortcut...but well.. otherwise I would have spent here eternity giving all the tensions away. Short and concise. As a prologue should be fine. Not very clear but fine. Done.

Basque Country - inland / hilly landscapes

Further on we went. From the seashore we headed inland where a few nice spots awaited us. Every day was brining some new curiosities. From the shore, Gaztelugatxe, we went along the coast down to Bakio to have a coffee and to take a shower on the beach ;) Very refreshing one indeed, as it wasn't too sunny.  Later the same morning we headed towards Burgos, going round Bilbao, to the Nervión waterfall ( es )- the biggest waterfall on the Iberian Peninsula, with a single drop of 222 m ! Very impressive it was, indeed, although at that time of dry season there was no water at all, to our surprise ;)  Nevertheless the river's canyon itself was just breath-taking and was making you think about the earth's magnitude and grand self-creation forces.  On the way... leaving the coast for good right before the Nervión there were herds of horses all around <3 After dismounting the motorbike and a short visit in the visitors centre we took a long, a few kilom...

No problem, no problem!

After almost a week in Delhi we clarified a few things about this place and elaborated some certain rules about how to find ourselves around ;) 1. No problem - means really little, because you never know what are they talking about/referring to ; 2. Couples holding hands are more rare than guys doing the same thing ; 3. Separate carriages for women (in a tube) are normal and fully respected ; 4. How to grab a rickshaw? Negotiate (you MUST know what the real price/value is otherwise it doesn't make sense and you spend hours on trying to get on with a crazy driver) or force them to use a meter (usually fairly impossible..) ; 5. People stopping you on the street can either confuse or help you - you never know :D 6. Everyone, seriously, is staring at you with widely opened eyes as if he saw a person like this for the 1st time in his life (sic!) ; 7. Going cross the street - easy, if you don't afraid millions of cars, motorbikes/bikes and rickshaws approaching you promp...

Hello Thailand!

We re-booked our tickets, changing destinations from Nepal (Kathmandu) to Thailand (Bangkok) due to obvious reasons that commoved the world recently. Therefore our arrival date is set up for the 15th of May, 2015, just around dawn. Not the best time to arrive in such a big city, but I'm sure we'll find our way to sort everything out as we want it :) Follow our trail, foot-trail this time, as we gonna backpack, so trains/buses and internal flights will be our means of transport from now on! Keep yourself on track - there'll be a lot to talk about and bunch of pictures coming up every now and then, I'm sure. So..keep fingers crossed! :)
