Expedition Takes a Turn
I’ve passed through seven countries, met a list of inspiring individuals and learned a multitude of life skills… but now it has come to an end, just six months into my expedition from London to Australia.

The Water of Slovakia
Through my endurance and attempt to stay until the end of the ski season, I have accomplished but one thing. I am now a ghost in this abandoned hotel. I wait for quiet hours to eat, in an attempt to avoid other volunteers. It’s not that I dislike them, only that we are different. Different …
Slovakia: Bears, Wolves & Stupid
I was stoked to be in Slovakia. I’d had a great time in Bratislava and next, I would be spending a month or two on a ski-resort. Just a few problems; I was already one day late, my arse was on fire, and I had a five-hour journey to the High Tatras Mountains, Slovakia.
Boozy Bratislava

It feels so long ago now and I drank a lot of alcohol which of course we all know diminishes memories. Hmm.
Let’s start with my parting in Bavaria and move onto the partying in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Christmas in Bavaria
After my time in Hanover, I found myself neglecting my diary and frustratingly I knew the reason. Though it was Christmas season in Bavaria, Germany, so all was well.
Hysterics in Hanover
I hadn’t made money for two months and I was spending far more than I expected. I needed to make some cash. I finally had the opportunity… in Hanover.
Settling into the Bavarian Countryside

My First Birthday Travelling
It was time to move on to Passau, a small town on the edge of Germany, to celebrate my birthday and take a train to my next workaway experience in Bavaria.
Nuremberg to Prague
Arthur and I waited by the roadside a lot longer than we should have for our buses. We’d almost lost the warmth of the sun by the time they arrived. It was a damn shame to part ways with Arthur. We’d had a good laugh together and it would have been good to have travelled more with him. Maybe one day. Today, however, I was travelling to Nuremberg.
A Salzburg Story
Oktoberfest was over and I had very little itinerary planned. I agreed to accompany Lucie to Salzburg. And… Salzburg delivered again.
