Now that’s a Nice beach.

Just like I had started -and continue- to lose track of the days, I began to lose track of what country we were in while on tour. We moved through them so fast, and with such long bus rides in between, you would have to keep diligent notes to remember where was what and what [...]

Pre-post entertainment

Hello from London! Not sure where to begin on the updates. My Contiki tour is over, and I’m starting to plan my next three weeks of travel and poverty. Laundry is in the washer, lunch is in the microwave, and a comfortable bed is upstairs calling me for another nap I’m going to get some [...]

Where the streets have no names because they are canals

I believe it was the wise philosophers the Pussycat Dolls who once said “be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it, you just might get it.” Truer woes have never been howled/meowed. I have been reaching the end of my patience with the amount of bussing and craving the solitary travel [...]

Camping is in tents.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiii. It’s been too long. But I’m back in Florence for the day and found my favorite internet cafe and the world is good again. Actually, my parts of the world have been phenomenal, going bungee jumping and paragliding and cliff jumping and to Nice and Montecarlo and Pisa and everything else. Let me backtrack [...]

I think there must be something about me that makes people decide “hm, this looks like a girl to whom I’d like to tell my life story.” I’m not complaining, it’s always interesting and generally these talkative types have great stories to share. After making it into London to meet up with my tour group [...]

Leave behind some green eyed look alikes.

Made it from Florence to London without any problems, which worried me because whenever I don’t mess up something where there are so many chances for error, I feel I’m building towards an even bigger “oops”. Truth. Apparently it’s a legal requirement that you have the address of where you’re staying upon entering the UK. [...]

Out of shape and without a map, into the hills we go.

I’d like to reccommend Campo Grande to anyone who ever drinks any wine. Now, I haven’t tried it myself but I had the good fortune to meet Tony, a proprietor in the company.Tony is a very kind, generous old man wiht an adorable bulbous nose and a soft spot for foreigners stranded at bus stops [...]

Found: Internet Cafe

Turns out it’s Wednesday. Definitely thought it was Tuesday whenever I thought about what day it was today, which honestly wasn’t that often. Pretty sweet not to care what day it is. Unless I keep that mentality on Saturday, when I am supposed to catch a plane to London. Doubt they’d be very understanding, or [...]
