Day 352

Yesterday evening I liberated Laura’s couch in Brooklyn and moved into my own room and a real bed at my friend Jessica’s apartment in Manhattan. Turns out she has a crazy awesome cat named Jolene who terrorised me all night. At one point I woke up with her pouncing on my arm inflicting a giant scratch,…

New York, New York! I arrived into NYC last night during a huge downpour and rush hour delays but eventually made my way to Laura’s place sopping wet. Laura is another couch surfing buddy who stayed with us in Melbourne a few years ago. We were going to go out for a bit but decided to…

This morning we went to the Borderland State Park just outside of Mansfield which was owned by a family who got rich selling shovels during the war. The grounds are open to the public but this old Mansion that sits on the property usually isn’t, but by a stroke of luck it happened to be…

This morning I woke up with a slight hangover from a drinking session with Brae and his workmates where I pretty much had to carry brae home, but I made it to the metro with plenty of time to make it to my rideshare to Ottawa today. However today of all days the Metro decided…

Day 330

I awoke from my garbage patch in Estelle’s blazingly bright sun room with a bottle cap stuck to my face. There was only one thing I could think of to cure the hangover that was sure to set in. My 4th greasy, cheese-curdy Poutine in the last 8 days. We intended to make it out…

Day 320

Sami! I met up with my old buddy Sami today in Kensington. Sami couch surfed with us in Melbourne about 3 years ago and although originally from Toronto, she is usually off galavanting somewhere close to the ocean teaching people to Dive. Coincidentally she happened to return to Toronto a couple of days before I…
