“I’m not letting my husband f*ck me with my brother’s dick!”
– Sian, Greg Davies’ sister (according to Greg Davies) 😉
Went to Edinburgh March of 2025 to catch Greg Davies‘ first tour since 2017, “Full Fat Legend”. I wasn’t allowed to film or take pictures while he was on stage so I’m not posting any of the ones I definitely do not have on my phone at all because they don’t exist.
“The wiesn I came is because of the beer!”
– Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest (also called Wiesn or Oktobafest) is the world’s largest Volksfest, featuring a beer festival and a travelling carnival, and is held annually in Munich, Germany, from mid- or late-September to the first Sunday in October. And when my excellent and admirable friends decided I should go to… Well, what choice did I really have? ❤
“In South Korea, they believe that when you turn 60, you’ve become a baby again and the rest of your life should be totally about joy and happiness, and people should leave you alone, and I just think that that’s the height of intelligence.”
– Alice Walker
Andreas and I finally went to Seoul together, after I went solo in 2011. Did much the same things as last time, but Seoul is a wonderful city with so much to see and do and it was amazing experiencing some of it again with my bro.
It dawned on me today that the Instagram post I put out on what would have been by dad’s birthday was something I wanted to save for posterity. As this day is the anniversary of his passing and this blog is like my diary, specifically related to travel it felt natural to add it here.
“The journey is my home.”
– Muriel Rukeyser
February 26th 2020 I had officially been travelling for three years straight. My “Round the World Adventure” was drawing to a close and even though I was incredibly happy (and a little proud) that I managed my stated goal of travelling full time for three years, the nostalgia was setting in… I don’t like it when things are drawing to a close, I don’t like it when things end…
“A developed country is not where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transportation.”
– Gustavo Petro, Mayor of Bogotá
I only got to see the cathedral in Bogotá and have lunch with my new, French friend Laura, before succumbing to food poisoning… It was bad. It was real bad.
But that’s not really Bogotá’s fault, so let’s not judge.
“Once one of the most dangerous places in the world, Comuna 13 is now a cradle of art and culture.”
The city of Medellin is divided into communes. Comuna 13 consists of thousands of brightly colored houses at the top of a very steep hill and is different from the other 15 comunas because of the enormous amount of colorful street art and graffiti.
“All fear has much imagination and little talent.”
– Colombian proverb
I like to commemorate my travel anniversary: February 26th.
First year I did a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam, a bucket list item. My second year I was working in China so I didn’t get much choice (we had a night out with the gang). This time it was my 3 year anniversary travelling. On this day I had officially been travelling for 36 months. So I decided to schedule my Guatapé tour for this day. Fair warning: This is going to be the messiest blog post I’ve ever posted.
“You’re going to COLOMBIA??”
– My brother
I’d been travelling the world by myself for almost exactly three years at this point, and THIS is where my brother decides my travel plans are insane…
To be fair, he’s also the one that contacted the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs because he thought I was lost in Malawi…
It’s nice to have someone who cares, I guess ;-D
“Every time I close my eyes blowing that trumpet of mine, I look right into the heart of good old New Orleans. It has given me something to live for.”
– Louis Armstrong
Aaah, New Orleans… The only place on my three years and two weeks of travelling that I got assaulted… I mention this to most people not to trash on the US, but to open peoples’ eyes a bit as most people I talk to seem to think it completely obvious that the most dangerous places I’ve travelled are all in Africa, with the possible exception of one or two places in Asia.
