It’s almost the end of the year according to the calendar I grew up with and all the bloggers seem to be doing it, so here’s a recap of my year in hitchhiking, adoring nature and meeting people! 2015 was not the most exciting year I’ve had in travel, as there were a few sad things going on Read more >

Hitchhiking Gibraltar
I’m back in the UK! Last night I found a last minute couchsurfing host in the border town of LaLinea and he was so kind to drop me at the border today, so I can go hitchhiking Gibraltar and explore the monkey rock. The guy who took this photo is a born and raised Gibraltarian Read more >
Yurt-surfing
What began as a spontaneous one-night surf, turned into a three day adventure with my new friend from Hungary! Turns out she lives at this awesome place hidden in the woods with alternative housing, such as yurts, caravans and “outdoor furniture” (Spanish law is strange). As it’s really windy everywhere, we decided to sleep in Read more >
Eat Pray Love
Was feeling a little #EatPrayLove yesterday in #Siracusa and it’s cute small streets, and I really really dislike that movie. I ate some Sicilian stuff that was highly recommended, but the only name that stuck was “arancini”, which is a sort of fried rice ball with for example a pistachio filling and general #omnomnom effect.

A Modern Odyssey
At the marina I met this Italian lady who is an actress with a theatre company sailing all over Europe to perform. Fittingly, they’re doing part of Homer’s Odyssey, right here at the marina. They let me sleep in the dressing room/loft and the cooks are Dutch and they’ve fed me and taken excellent care Read more >
Albanian Coastal Hitch
Goodbye #Sarandë and hello #Vlorë! Though this road was desolate and there was only a little bit of shade left at noon, I caught a direct ride with a truck driver from #Berat on this amazing coastal route. He spoke Italian, I responded in Spanish, all was fine and understood. The winding road goes ear-poppingly Read more >

Happily Stuck in Montenegro
[INSERT SILLY INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE] 😉 Just another beach day in #Montenegro with books, beer, buddies and bloody awesome sunsets. I can’t leave this place because it doesn’t want me to leave. I can’t be arsed to move further away than the nearest supermarket to buy the necessary supplies for another day of hardcore relaxation. The Read more >

Power Outages
Yes, that’s a torch on my head. I’m freaking night blind! The last few days were marked with ultimate chill, beer, new friends and the dog. Also this small thing: massive primetime #thunder and #lightning that was our TV for two days and the subsequent power outages (hence no internet and no posts!), which is Read more >

Sibiu, Romania
