Surfing With A Little Soul

The best part about living in Doha is leaving.




...but not in a bad way.

Doha is still growing and although it isn't quite ready for the mass amount of people that live here, I do really like it. I like when I get to go out to breakfast or brunch at Jones and (sometimes) just wandering the malls with my friends. The rugby club is always fun and getting to watch friends sing on a Wednesday night is a good break to the week.
Even the long car rides aren't so bad when you have good music and good people in your passenger seat.

But, teaching abroad in a place that allows for easy travel and being able to take advantage of this is by far the number one benefit. I have been able to see things that there is no way I could afford to do if I was paying $2,000/ month for a closet in San Francisco. And although I do miss my family and friends and sometimes feel like their lives are continuing on while I am missing out (hello, engagements!!???), I know that what I experience here will continue with me for the rest of my life.

The Last Days

After arriving back from shark diving, we took the opportunity to take a nap (much needed). After waking up, we ventured out and got one of the most amazing burgers ever just down the street from our hostel. After, we headed out on the back patio and drinking some of our Reyneke wine in cheap glasses from the communal kitchen. Early the next morning, we decided to take a drive down to Camp's Bay which we had heard from multiple sources was an amazing beach. Read More...

We headed back to Cape Town after finishing at Reyneke Wines. We quickly checked in to our hostel and had some lunch. We were staying at a hostel that had a bar and restaurant included downstairs so it was nice to get something quick and easy before our next excursion: Table Mountain! Read More...
