The hike to Téryho chata was the hardest I’ve faced yet. The vertical climb was treacherous through 3ft snow and 40mph winds… Monika and I had the same plan as the last hike we completed to visit the Goulash Man. We would finish work and head out as soon after. Juraj had also driven about […]

I had to take the train from Passau to Pfarrkirchen to reach my next workaway. I was not so much nervous, but cautious of the workaway scheme. I’d spent a week in Galacia, Spain on my last workaway and it didn’t turn out the way I desired. I hoped this time would be better. I
