In the meantime..
I am very busy at the moment with all the collective stuff and all. That’s why updates have been scarse. Of course, it’s not all work and no play. This weekend I went on a hitchhiking trip with Ben, another guy at the collective here. Read the story at Ben Hanna’s Blog.
You can also read up on some of the other collective participants’ blog: Dougie’s blog, Kelly’s blog or Jim’s blog.

The national meeting and saying goodbye
We organised a big couchsurfing meeting for the end of May. Thursday was a national holiday, so by organising events for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday people still only had to take 1 day off from work or studies. Belo Horizonte is more or less in the center of Brasil, so people wouldn’t have to travel so far. Of course the biggest groups of people came from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo (these two cities have the biggest communities in CS in Brasil). That said, we also had people coming in from Bélém, Salvador, Maceio and even Manaus. If you’re living in Brasil, you will know how special it was to have people from that far away coming all the way to BH “just” for a cs meeting. More after the jump…

The changed long and windy road to Alaska
Life is chaos. Just when you think you have everything figured out, you are forced to change plans. My road to Alaska just got a lot more adventurous (and risky!). Follow the jump to find out what happened.
