Bikini Boot Camp (R)

Yes it does truly exist, and Yes, it is a bunch of girls working out in bikinis all day long on the beach. Girls, I highly recommend it, and guys, just in case you might want to check out photos of the beautiful landscape, the website is http://www.amansala.com/. I spent my first week of the new year working out, lying out, and bonding with the other 25 guests (2 hot personal trainers included). I even met another American girl there living in London, who puts my travels to shame, and was able to visit her in London in February. So this now means I officially have 2 friends in London, the other being Loren, who was kind enough to put up with me for a few days while I was doing my interviews and ensure I found my way through the City to the various offices without getting lost. For those of you who know me well, it may be no surprise that I can be a bit of a space cadet at times..shocking, I know. So, just to get the word out and start the networking process, I am looking for an apartment share starting October 1 (or one week beforehand). So any recommendations on areas, websites, or friends living in London who may know of something..let me know!!


Disclaimer of liability
As with all American things, I would like to direct your attention to the following disclaimer of liability prior to your reading of this blog.

#1: Please be aware that I write these posts keeping in mind that others may read them, and therefore try (key word "try") to make them somewhat entertaining. Therefore, while it is all true, I tend to put a very sarcastic twist on most of it, as is my nature. So, please do not find any offense to the following posts. If you do, then maybe we shouldn't be friends.

#2: For those of you who know me well, I have the attention span of a three-year old child and a pinball machine for a mind. I apologize in advance if I jump from one thought and/or event to the next. Please bear with me.

#3: For those of you who don't know me well, I really am a nice person..or so some tell me. So I hope I do not come across a bit strong. But do you really want to read a blog with the following: Today I took an airplane to Costa Rica. The woman I sat next to on the plane was very nice. We had an interesting conversation. The rainforests we drove through to the place I was staying were very beautiful. I am teaching at a school in Costa Rica. The children I work with are really great. Get the point?

#4: Yes, I do work. But I don't think you want to hear about my typical day of waking up at 5:30am going to work, sitting in front of a laptop for 12 hours doing very boring things, going to the gym, and then going to bed..often in a lonely hotel room, now do you?

#5 My intention of these posts is not to brag about all the places I have been. Believe me, living a nomadic lifestyle is a bit exhausting and often times I am even envious of those friends who are a bit more settled with their homes, friends, families, significant other, etc. In the journey of life, there are many paths to follow, and it is a good thing we do not all take the same one. Always keep in mind, the grass is always greener on the other side.I am therefore not liable for any offense taken.I hope you enjoy
