I'm not sure how long this will last but since I've returned from Greece Netflix has returned to working behind a VPN. This is great for me because there are not a lot of shows available in Kuwait that are not Netflix specials. While some of those are fine it didn't leave a large market …

Shipping Shit
One of the problems that I have been facing with my plan to go back to Canada is what to do with all my stuff. It's too much to take on a plane and too expensive to ship from Kuwait. Seriously, I have looked with courier (1500$) I have looked at container shipping but I …
Je Suis Ankara… I am Ankara
I had a co-worker express sadness that she would be unable to travel to Turkey over the spring break. I wanted to know why. I travelled to Turkey a few years ago and I loved it, it's one of my favourite places in the world, so far. She informed me there had been a bomb …
Communication
I can't imagine what it was like to travel 100 years ago, or even 20 years ago when communication would have been limited and difficult. I'm okay with going off the grid for awhile and being out of reach, sometimes that's what I really need when I travel. When I come home though I always …
Netflix and Chill
I have lost a lot of the TV I have been watching recently because Netflix has gone through will blocking proxy and VPN IPN's. This means that to watch Nexflix I have to watch the programming that is provided to residence of Kuwait and let me tell you it mostly sucks. Due to the uninteresting …
Next Trip
It took me quite awhile to get everything figured out for my next adventure. We have a 4 day weekend next weekend but I have decided not to travel and to take the time to relax and clean house. That means that the next time I travel will be our spring break in April. I …
Intrepid Travel
I wrote all about what I did while I travelled with Intrepid in Egypt but not about after. So here it is. I must say that over all I had a great time on my trip with Intrepid. Pre-Trip On December 29th there was a change in the route of the trip. Due to hostilities …
Time Flies when your super busy
I had a wonderful time off from work travelling and seeing some of the things that Oman and Egypt have to offer. I would tell anyone and everyone that they are both incredible places and should be on the travel list of anyone interested in the Middle East or history. Coming back from break was …
Em*bare*assing moment in Oman
I've had a good few days diving in Oman so far. The visibility has been low because of rough seas but the water was warmer than I expected. I've seen lots of fish and some eels and even a turtle today. The thing about dive boats and rough water is they bounce on the waves …
Present to myself
Yesterday I went shopping with a friend out in Farwaniya. We went after our class at the gym (12-1) and arrived around 1:30pm. On most days this would have been fine but yesterday was Friday. In Islamic countries Friday is the day of prayer. There are special services held at the Mosque. Because of this Friday …
