Abhi and I went to find some waterfalls today outside of Granada that we had heard whispers of on the internet and from locals over the past few days. Our adventure wasn’t off to a good start. we didn’t get mobilised until about 3pm and because of an old timetable we just missed our hourly…

Day 74

Last night my Couchsurfing host from Singapore Abhi and I met up for a beer. He is coincidentally traveling Spain for 10 days and we were both in Granada at the same time. One beer turned into many and we ended up locked in a bar again with the bar tender, his mates, a bunch…

Day 69

Today I did two free walking tours, one in the morning and then one in the evening at about 6pm. The 6pm tour was hot, about 42 degrees. After the walking tours I continued to explore by myself, and made sure I would be back at Plaza De Espana for the sunset to grab a…

Obrigado Lisbon! today I say goodbye to Lisbon. This city is amazing, it has definitely been one of, if not my favourite city so far. I love Its winding streets and the characters who fill them, its cheap beer, Barrio Alto (although it does get a bit repetitive after 3 nights in a row), portuguese…

The final day of Super Bock Super Rock also happens to be my Birthday! I am not sure how or when I took this photo, but it sums things up nicely I think haha. BRMC and Tomahawk were amazing yesterday, but tonight QOTSA were spectacular. I haven’t been in a mosh pit that big since I was…

Day 38

So thanks to my pal Brae, he managed to hook me up with a couchsurf with two awesome dutch dudes in Amsterdam. This place is awesome and crazy, but more on that later. I had a few hours to kill while my hosts went back to see their families so I went out, befriended 4…
