My Journey

These travels have been about...
People stopping to let you cross the road, rice milk, chocolate milk, MILK!
Not being groped in buses, trains, or crowded streets
Maps of cities, maps of towns, maps of metro lines
Getting lost, finding my way around, finding myself
Reading and writing and listening and observing
Drinking wine instead of water, eating fresh croissants
Goats cheese, blue cheese, any cheese
And bread
Canoeing, cycling, walking and running
Trains arriving on time, trains delayed, long journeys
Nutella and bread, a budget to live within
Vending machines, bread makers, hot showers
Gelato, sleazy men, italian coffee and a coffee maker
Deep friendships, laughter, happiness and joy
Tapas and mojitos
Sangrias and Caipurinhas
Cortados and spanish men
Green water, sometimes blue, sometimes turquoise
Greek islands, long walks, a summer house
Hot men, lots of attention, a boost of self confidence
Toilet paper, weird taps in bathrooms, glass bathrooms, no locks?!
Coke being cheaper than water, kissing in public
People dressed strangely, people undressed, no one bothering
Cider on the pavement, 24 hour super markets
Weighing your own fruit, being honest
Filling drinking water from bathroom toilets
Being driven cross country by women
The sun setting at 10 pm, the cold beaches
Interesting conversation, falling in love, again
And so much more...
