Hello there dear reader(s). It’s all been a bit good recently hasn’t it? Healthy activities, busking in sunny streets, very little hedonism and debauchery. I’ve set up my youtube account to document hitchhike videos, and the ball is well and truly rolling when it comes to the charity page. YOU just need to check it out now; see the …

Lake Bled
I’ve been told it’s pretty wonderful, so I pack a small overnight bag, sling my guitar across the shoulders and make my way up to Lake Bled. Bled is a small town about an hours drive from Ljubljana, but I’m not in a hitching mood and the bus is only seven euro. It makes …

Ljubljana
Since I managed to get to Ljubljana before midday, it’s actually taken me about two hours to see it, which means I’m free to attempt some busking in the late afternoon. It’s yet another glorious day and this has got to be one of the prettiest capital cities I’ve ever been to. It has a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it …

Hitching to Ljubljana
The road looks inviting coming off the back of my weekend busk success. It’s not going to make me a millionaire by any stretch of the imagination, but it’ll certainly take the edge off hostel beds, food and nights out. The sun is shining and it’s a hop, skip and a jump to Slovenia’s capital. High …

Busking in Maribor
Since I’m not in the UK and I’m lugging my guitar about with me, I think it’s about time I tried to make some money with it. I’ve tried busking once before, after a particularly (and usual) bad fight with my ex, I thought the fear of it would take my mind of things. I …

Hitch to Slovenia
I’m standing on a grass verge by a roundabout with a sign for Maribor and a frightened look on my face. There’s been a few moments so far when I’ve stared idiocy and insanity in the eyes and said; “I need you in my life.” Before I arrived at this spot, I’d checked hitchwiki to discover …

Graz
My Romanian friends have been very naughty. Thank goodness it doesn’t involve me, but I’m woken to hear the angry tones of the hostel manager demanding a 200 euro fine for smoking in the room. Needless to say they don’t pay it, so they are asked to leave. All this has resulted in a nice …

Back in business and Romanian roomies
It seems to me it’s been an age since I was on the road. That’s because it is. It is with some intimidation that I leave the hostel this morning, unsure if I’ll remember to have the balls to do this. It isn’t easy having thousands of vehicles pass by you on a windy corner, …

Game of jobs
Where does the time go? More to the point where has my zest for this trip gone? I’ve spent the last few weeks desperately trying to stay away from drinking, getting a clean bill of health from the liver people, and then subsequently launching right back into the old ways. I dressed as a vampire …
