travel journals [archived]
after having a website for so long and writing everyday i suffer painful withdrawl
symptoms whenever i'm away. being armed with camera alone just doesn't quite cut it - i always
take some form of notebook or travel journal wherever i go. on return, feeling compelled to write it up and
decorate it with my photos, i add it to the list below:
montreal: 22.02.2008 - 26.02.2008
a year and a half living in canada and i almost didn't make it to quebec. but there we were, with all our ridiculous luggage, worn out from the stress of moving, and not having a clue what we were doing. and why is montreal so cool? because it's more european. but don't read this, i wrote it with no enthusiasm at all. i don't know why.
vienna: 08.11.2007 - 13.11.2007
we picked the city of vienna pretty much at random. i didn't care, i just wanted to go somewhere with my friends whilst i was back in europe, making the most of it. we did pretty good and we even got snow. but you'll have to excuse all my moaning and complaining
detroit & windsor: 13.07.2007 - 15.07.2007
a quick trip into america and my first time there, starting with the worst city possible.
spain: 01.05.2007 - 10.05.2007
backpacking across spain, although only for nine days, visiting spain's three biggest cities. we get attacked my riot police in madrid, get hungry in valencia and go punk in barcelona.
copenhagen to canada: 05.08.2006 - 15.09.2006
we leave copenhagen, travelling via norway, germany, the nertherlands, belgium, france and england, before finally arriving at our destination in toronto, where we live in luxurious squallor for two weeks before i get my precious internet back and start updating my website properly again.
norway in easter: 10.04.2006 - 16.04.2006
featuring the secret origin of my broken arm and many photos of julie in the snow. we stayed in a cosy cabin up in the mountains of norway, four hours north of oslo (more if you walk).
oslo: 25.11.2005 - 28.11.2005
oslo in the winter and my first time in scandinavia.
budapest: 27.10.2005 - 01.11.2005
getting sick, lost and nearly arrested in budapest during halloween with grilly - a wicked city with a fascinating and terrifying history.
kilimanjaro charity climb: 17.03.2005 - 12.09.2005
climbing kilimanjaro to raise money for amani kids. my journal documents the entire process, including the organising, fund raising, travelling, meeting the kids, climbing, sweat, pain, vomit (although not mine) and exhilaration.
glastonbury festival 2005: 22.06.2005 - 27.06.2005
the one where it flooded (no, -really- flooded) and laurence ate something strange.
barcelona: 08.02.2005 - 12.02.2005
me and martin trying and failing to not be tourists in barcelona.
italy & switzerland: 05.08.2004 - 09.08.2004
travelling alone into the awesome spectacle of switzerland's mountains, meeting johanna, and tearing up venice.
