Links bar


Hope you notice the links bar to the right of the page. I'm going to be continually updating it.

It's in three sections: My Canada Links, Gap Year Links, My Links.

My Canada Links:
This is mostly going to help me while I'm in Canada. It will act as a bookmarks list which will stay with me on every computer I use. Already I have Lonely Planet's Canada book link, and a link to Wikitravel's Canada page.

Gap Year links:
This is for any readers out there (anyone..?) who want help researching for a gap year. Important links which will help you.

My Links:
Stuff about me, my band, blah blah blah. Feel free to probe into my life. That's what this blog is about anyways!

I want to explain about Lonely Planet. These books are a traveller's Bible! No Gap Year participator should leave or even plan without one. They include maps, notes about every single city, town and village, guides to hostels and hotels. Basically everything about everywhere! I'm not going to be buying my Canada book until near next Summer so I can get the latest version with all the up to date maps, prices, and details. I suggest every buyer do the same.

Wikitravel was pointed out to me by a Canadian chef I work with who told me that he planned his whole trip out here using it. Andy's cool. He comes from Nova Scotia which is Latin for 'New Scotland'. Apparently the who province is a wannabe Scotland. I'm not too sure about how long I'll be able to stand it there after that description, haha.

Woo - New blog

Hey all, I know its a bit early but I've set up my blog for my gap year.
Its gonna be awesome, i'll be posting picture, videos, random events all on this blog.

But up until September 1st(ish) 2007, this is gonna be a store for all my latest booking information. Where i'm planning to go, blah blah blah.

OK, so current plans:
  • Going to Canada for 10/11 months. Sept 07 - June/July 08
  • For the ski season, work in a ski resort in a bar while snowboarding in the day.
  • When the seasons over, tour rest of Canada.
  • Hopefully meet up with SamFlan while he's out there biking.

Current problems are:
  • In most provinces (not states. I got bollocked by some Canadian friends for that) the drinking age is 19. In 3 states the age is 18. What I will have to do is either find a resort where the age is 18 or find one and work in a restaurant till January (mon birthday). Big decision!
  • I need a board and better gear. Do I buy before I go and pay extra for the flight or buy there?!
Put a comment if you have any um... y'know... comments.
