Travel always has its ups and its downs. Most of the time you spend on an absolute high, experience a better education than any school could provide, making memories that will last longer than any mundane work week and putting life into a perspective that only makes you realise how much you don't want to...

Euro trip day 14: All I need is a body of water and some elevation…
There's something energising about a body of water. I think the reason seaside towns and cities have such a vibe is because human beings genuinely get energy from the ocean seeing as its the largest body of water on earth.
