Day 365
So here it is, Day 365! A Photo (or collage of photos) every single freaking day for Three Hundred and Sixty Five days straight. Words cannot explain how amazing the past year of traveling non-stop has been. Most likely you have seen or read few of my posts if you are reading this and you…
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,…
Day 343
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…
Day 339
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…
Day 336
Yay Christy! I made it to Boston today without any problems. Christy was one of the first and craziest couch surfers we ever had and she ended up returning multiple times and staying with us for months. Now she is letting me crash with her and her family for week or so before I head…
Day 335
Ottawa, Canada. My CS host Dmitri took me for a walk down the shore of the Ottawa river on the Quebec side this morning to check out this abandoned railway and bridge and to try and spot a beaver. We didn’t see a beaver unfortunately, but we did find a tree which had quite obviously…
Day 334
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 329
Quebec City! Brae, Maria and I took a rideshare to Quebec city today to visit our very first Quarry Couchsurfing friends Estelle and Sophie who ended up living in our laundry for about 6 months several years ago, It’s thanks to meeting awesome people like Soph and Eselle that made me want to get out and do…
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…
