There’s a lot of nice things in Europe.
I’ve been floating around over here for so long that I now have a different approach to seeing, experiencing, and comparing. Though I tend to enjoy every city I’ve been to, I can’t help comparing each city’s properties with my past experiences. Without meaning to, I now rarely [...]

At the Oceanarium, the
Largest Aquarium in Europe

So I met a Meaghan in Bordeaux when I was staying with a girl I met through globalfreeloaders.com and she was like yo you should come to Grenoble because there’s haunted houses and alpine resorts and craggy climbing peaks every place your eyeball goes… so I says ya [...]

This travel blog thing just hit 10,000 visitors. It only proves the old American proverb evermore truthful: It’s good to be bad.

I’m in Lisboa, Portugal. Paris, France next. Strasbourg, France on the 5th of Feb. Whenever you thank a Portuguese man or woman for something, the answer is always: “Nothing.”

“Det er uhyyyygeligt” kinda translates to “It’s unpleaaasant” And it is from Lars von Trier’s miniseries Riget, or The Kingdom. Those two retards [...]

Granada is the most beautiful place I’ve seen so far. The walled fortress of Alhambra, the last Arab outpost in Spain, has no equal as far as I know.

I’m taking the train to Irun, then a night train to Madrid, and will arive in Granada 2pm tomorrow. Nineteen hours of travel. Just finished the Lord of the Rings, and starting some fairy tales by Mr. Andersen himself.
I put up many many new photos here.
