  • Day 1

    So I’m becoming acquainted with the tasks I’m required to do, the people, the creatures and animals, the uncountable insects, and a pet raven that steals my phone.

  • Hitchhike to India leg 31; Bucharest to Sofia

    And so we continue down the annuls of history, with the hitch to Sofia, around mid July.     I’d made many new friends, spent time with old ones, lamented places which held fond memories, been thrown out of a bar for rounding on some stupid American girl giving me abuse, and climbed into a …
