Well friends, here i am in Canada at last! I am so happy to be here, i am liking it a lot so far, but can't believe i only arrived a few days ago, it feels more like i've been here a month. So i guess that's a good sign that i'm adjusting well! My journey over here however was possibly the worst day of my life. After missing my connecting flight due to the first one being delayed, i nearly missed the following one, but that was also delayed. So by the time i arr...

This was my first travelling trip outside of Switzerland, and i was soo excited about the prospect of going to Hungary. Thanks to an easyjet sale we got really cheap flights, which was great as i don't think i would ever have thought of going to Budapest otherwise. I went with my American friend Erika, and we stayed at the house of her aunt's friend. The family really were amazing people who did everything they could to give us advice and make us welcome. We a...
