Day 83

Day trip to Monasterio de Sant Miquel del Fai Take 2. So after being booted of the bus the day before I was determined to get there no matter what. Luckily Jenny decided to skip class today so she could come, so today I had backup in the form of 3 cute russian girls who…

Day 81

Well Day 80 might have been one of the most epic days of my trip so far, but Day 81 was definitely a stark contrast. As you may or may not know I quit my job to do this trip, but before I left I was offered the chance to do some freelance work here and…

Day 80

Wow, Day 80 was an amazing (and exhausting) day and another extremely difficult photo to choose! I was originally planning on spending my last few days left in Spain by exploring Valencia. However after finding some amazing places that are do-able as day trips from Barcelona I decided to just stay for a few more…

Day 79

This is Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia. Today Abhi and I finally went to check it out. I had some friends pull out at the last minute which was a bit of a bummer and meant we had to scalp off some pre purchased tickets. The British couple who I sold them to were extremely grateful that…

Day 78

For Boyang’s last night in Barcelona we climbed to the top of a hill overlooking the city with a backpack full of beer. Afterwards we roamed the streets of Barcelona’s old town searching for somewhere to drink, but when all else failed everyone resorted to buying and drinking sewer beers from the sellers on the…

Black & white night! I am thinking about theming my photos occasionally to encourage myself to use different lenses and techniques a little more. I have found myself just constantly using my wide angle lens here in Spain mostly due to the tiny streets and delicious architecture. Other themed photos may include 50mil-mondays, WideAngle-weekends and…

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 73

So last night I met up with a Serbian Travel club and hung out with a bunch of people from all over Europe in their Travel House project. Its a pretty interesting concept which I will explain some more after I go back there and take some photos. We all went out for drinks and…

Day 71

So I went to the small village of Setenil de las Bodegas today to check out the hundreds of houses, shops and bars that have been cleverly built into the rock walls. The rocks act as a natural cooling/heating system and are also home to tonnes of birds! It was extremely hot but I managed…
