The first month at an American College
So, dear readers, it has been a while since I published anything on my blog. Not that there is nothing to tell, but I’ve been waaaaay busy with orientation, coursework, social stuff and getting settled in general. So, here is my account of the past month. I arrived in Boston from the Niagara Falls… But […]
The Niagara Falls
Seems I arrived at one of nature’s wonders after all! The bus out of Toronto arrived at 21h, an hour later than scheduled, because traffic in Toronto is an utter biatch. Checked in at the hostel, and did a quick food run because I hadn’t eaten since lunch that day. The Falls would have to […]
A day in Toronto
So, after a blitz visit to Montréal, I headed onwards to Toronto. For those unfamiliar with my flight schedule: I was booked on a flight from Montréal to Toronto because it came out cheaper… Which is the very short version of the story. Anyways, after getting on a ridiculously big plane (Boeing 767 for those […]
A day in Montréal
Well, this has to have been the shortest citytrip I ever made. Just a mere 23 hours after landing on the flight from Zürich, I am now typing this blog post waiting for Air Canada to take me onwards to Toronto. Well, normally people don’t take flights for such a short distance, but since it […]
What happened afterwards…

Checking out of the common house, closing the door behind me, memories coming back from all the awesome moments and people I met the past two months. I had rented a one-way rental […]
Roadtrip, yee-ha!
Hiya! Phew, these last few days were a big blur… But let’s start with the beginning. A couple of days ago, while still on project at the Grand Canyon, Manon and Kristina asked me if I would be up for a roadtrip, because they were both too young to rent a car. Of course I […]
The mother of them all
Whew, it’s been a while since I last posted, but what a great experience has this been! We went out Tuesday morning, had a comparatively short hour-and-a-half drive to our campsite, set up camp, and set out on our first working day: gathering regular-shaped stones that would eventually get used as steps in a rock-built […]
Scorching hot desert
Guess who’s back from another awesome project? Me! We left monday the 30th quite early in the morning, to begin our 7-hour drive to southern Arizona, where we would be staying for the duration of the project. We passed Phoenix for a lunch break, and when we came up to Quartzsite, it was raining like […]
