Dave Life Adventures

Upon my departure from Istanbul, I made my way through Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur to my next destination - Penang, Malaysia.  Within moments of my arrival to Malaysia, I had a new SIM card, pocket full of Malaysian cash and was ready for adventures! The first of which was my very first UBER ride. Yes I realize I am one of the few people to never have used this service before but man was it sweet. As a traveller I am always nervous in a new city, there are way too many stories of getting ripped off by cabbies at the airport. UBER let me watch the entire drive towards my destination with their real time map, talk about piece of mind. Add in the fact that it was about $10 for a 45 minute drive across the city and we will call that a win.  Touring around on the back of Dave's bike, snapping pics as I went Post UBER experience I arrived at my friends Dave, Tasha and family's condo which was big, beautiful and way less to rent than mine back home, these expat guys are d...

Thanks so much to Danny and Alycia for having me you guys are the greatest. I arrived late in the evening on the 1st and ...

This was a great day. Most of my posts so far have been about the camp and the people that have been a part of my journey and how they affected me. Along the way, in amongst all the hard work and relationships being built I have also had a few fantastic opportunities to be a part of some incredible experiences. As most of you are aware I am an avowed lover of random adventure, I tend to not know what I am doing until I am doing it haha. This day would prove to be no exception... Our adventure begins the day before as I picked up the rest of the Panagiouda Crew from working the night shift an experience I not so unfortunately missed out on during my time in Moria. (not sure who to thank, Marianna for her scheduling I guess, but anyways I am definitely grateful haha -- David is too old for all nighters) During our drive home it was discussed that we all had the following day off and as such an adventure was in order.   The next day I followed up with them to see what w...
