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!

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 >
