I am now officially on maternity leave, woohoo! I’ll try my best to update the blog when I can, but in anticipation of a haze of sleepless nights and dirty nappies (and getting back in to shape-I can dream, right?!) taking over my life for the first few weeks I have a series of guest […]

GUEST ENTRY- STACEY IVERSON I had applied to Camp America quite a way before booking and finalising my trip to Costa Rica. I had applied as an ‘on the rebound’ type of decision not really with any kind of idea what I was exactly signing up to. I honestly didn’t think that I would get […]

July 23, 2013
