Visiting Mumbai/Fellow Travelers
Hi everyone, I'm visiting Mumbai August 10-12 until I leave to Surat for a week. Being a solo traveler I thought I would reach out to anyone here who might be interested in doing a little exploring for those days. A little about me, as you ... Read More
Expat community in Natal
Is anyone else interested in meeting up with fellow expants in Natal for a few drinks once a month or so? Seems to me like a good way to make connections with others from the area, and help out with those new to town geting adjusted. Read More
Puppy needs a home by CanadianNomad
Hi everyone, I was walking through the cane fields and came across a little puppy who was obviously malnutritioned. Thinking Mom would be back soon, I checked on the little boy for a couple days often, and there was no sign of Mom. Not to ...
Hi RedJayBird, Wise words indeed, thanks for the warning. You say to take precautions, but you did not mention what precautions to take. Other than ignoring ones compassionate side and doing nothing, I think we all would appreciate some ... Read More

Car Rental by CanadianNomad

I would like to add a a note, this guy tried to screw me on the day of returning the car by saying I had to pay more. It also turns out he is not legally allowed to rent these cars which I found out from someone who is in the industry. So while he ... Read More

Just a recommendation... Why don't we rent a catamaran for the day and go swimming with the dolphins - something I've always wanted to do. This starts early in the morning and will finish by noon. Those who can't make it in the morning due to ... Read More

Looking for a house to rent. by CanadianNomad
Hello everyone! I am currently living in Brazil but am looking for somewhere a bit more civilized. The corruption, poor roads, and dangerous lifestyle are getting a bit much for me. I will miss the monkeys in my mango tree though! That being ...
Thank you for your reply,Vayid. Unfortunately a sporatic internet connection will throw off my plans of coming to Mauritius at all. I make video games for a living (online, educational sometimes, but always no gore) and need a stable internet ... Read More
