A Salzburg Story
Oktoberfest was over and I had very little itinerary planned. I agreed to accompany Lucie to Salzburg. And… Salzburg delivered again.
Memoir
a glimpse into my monumental tales
Oktoberfest 2019
I’d left the farm, met new friends in Madrid, reminisced with old friends in Barcelona and now I endured the twenty-two-hour coach trip to Oktoberfest, Munich, Germany. A trip that almost killed me… but it was completely worth it…
The Sprint: Madrid to Munich
Feeling down about my experience on the farm, and sensing a fever coming on, I was really alone on the evening before I left the farm. Oktoberfest felt like a long shot. I had sought council with my good friend Jonah back home, but the decision on the next path was mine alone to decide.
The Farm In Galicia
My adventures in Portugal were exciting, but unfortunately, it was time to move on. Before I left the UK, I had arranged some work on a farm in Galicia, Spain, through workaway. I’ve worked with computers almost my entire working life, so as you can imagine, a farm with limited internet and electricity is on …
Port In Portugal
My plan to travel around the northern coast of Spain to reach Ourense didn’t actually seem so practical once I was there. In hindsight, I probably could have hitchhiked quite easily, but I wasn’t so confident about hitchhiking then. So I had to find another route to this distant, isolated farm… I made for Portugal.
Dragonstone
Wednesday 18th September. I woke up early with the intent to complete a hike. I was given the idea by an American couple from Seattle the evening before.And so I awoke, made myself some chocolate spread on toast and re-read the blog posts to plan the journey… to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, AKA. Dragonstone. George …
Madrid to Bilbao
I’m currently in Bilbao, Spain. Before traveling to Bilbao, I found myself “waiting” for my work on the farm to begin in Ourense. I was spending way too much money in Madrid just to see the same city every day, so I decided to take a quick trip north, to the Basque city of Bilbao …
The Next Chapter – Travel
Hello Three weeks ago I was on the beaches of Ibiza having a blast. On my travels, I met a new international friend, I had a romantic/drunken evening with a beautiful American and most importantly of all… I made memories. The tales of the Ibiza weekender will have to wait however, as I am about …
The Reality of University & Graduation
Graduation weekend was not at all what I expected. I didn’t attend university, opting for a bank account of money, as opposed to a twenty-seven thousand pound debt. However, each to their own. Three years ago my sister was accepted into Manchester Metropolitan University and graduated 22nd July 2019. Although I am extremely proud of …
Monday Mood 24-06-19
I’ve had bare minimum sleep. I’m late for work and I’m stuck on a train, in a tunnel. Disgustingly hot and sweaty. Pressed up against a stranger. What a Monday morning. What’s worse is I know this is all bullshit. I received an update from my trainline at 00:02 explaining there are signalling issues for …
