Stu

Hello.

My name is Stuart Jameson.

I am a freelance writer, traveller, theatre workshop leader and cheesecake enthusiast. I set this blog up back in 2011 when I was first became a homeless vagabond, and since then I’ve been to 65 countries and counting – including a rather ambitions 6-year hitchhike from Germany to Cambodia.

It was meant to be Germany to India but I got tired.

The catalyst for fleeing the UK was the passing of both my parents a year apart at the end of the decade, and there was no longer a need to remain on the beautiful west coast of Scotland. I set off to seek my fortune and adventure around the world, subsequently documenting these wanderings in the pages of the website before you.  Years later, the goal posts have changed somewhat, and I am now living in Croatia plying my trade to anyone who will have me.

You can still read the tales from this journey in the archives section – and I flatter myself that there’s a significant amount of tomfoolery and shenanigans to be had over the course of 7 years on the road. Nowadays, I’m much more sensible, and I prefer a craft ale in a warm apartment, sitting in my dad’s ergonomic chair listening to Elbow’s The Seldom Seen Kid album on vinyl.

Get in touch if you’d like to know more, or you have any writing requests. The devil makes work for idle thumbs – so give me something to do with them.
