Travelling in 2024

Not much travelling if you ask me though did go to Dublin in February for my friend’s birthday just for weekend so mostly party and meet ups with old friends from my dublin days, I April to Faro, Portugal with my family to celebrate my dad (seems like im just using any birthdays as an excuse for traveling) But great non the less my dad paid this and we had an amazing time, I showed them a little around as it was my 3rd time there, We had rented a big house with a billard pool by the pool and ocean view, two cars (we were 6 adults), the young car was a cabriolet. We saw the famous sunset from the southest place in europe with like 50-100 other people (I didnt count but a lot), was amazing 10/10 do it.

In June I went interrailing to Amsterdam, where I met some amazing people at “Worst hostel in the world”, tough honestly not that bad but after sitting at the owners table and talking with them I got book about their marketing about being the worst. Then I went out when 2 guys who were also staying at that hostel, and visited the coffee shop and walked to the red light district where we found a stripclup and the rest you might if you have been there if not all I can say is go have fun and be openminded I of cause also went to the rijks museum and Hard rock for a glass to my sister and also went to rotterdam to see the food market. But still have lots to see in Holland.

I had a day in Brussels, Belgium to visit a chocolate factory and the peeing boy statue. Important stuff right. And then a walking tour arround town with brussel stories in my ears, and then on to Paris to watch Denmark against slovenia, and when the game ended I went on to Cannes, the reason for my trip. The student trip, Festival of Creativity. Opening party on the beach and the RTL beach, next day, Party on a yacht then RTL beach party ending at the corner bar all free party I might add. Then danish meet up at 10am with no sleep, going to a pool party with the swedish actress community celebrating a little swedish midsummer. Then Denmark played against England so met up with all the danes at a penthouse with a view over the harbour amazing view and that one goal Denmark could be heard all over Cannes. Final dinner with my class and end party after, ending with a full day of sleeping.

But my vacation wasnt over, I went to Monaco very tired and quickly on to pisa, where I had a few days to walk around here and watch the famous leaning tower you know it the one you need to push back into place, before heading to florence, for a little last minute sightseeing and then home in a very long train ride.

I have learned a lot and it’s been great to be back on Crete after 20 years rehashing some of the memories. Crete is a Mecca for nature lovers, hikers and historians. And though I don’t get to walk the Samaria Gorge as it’s closed, I hope to walk Imvros gorge and I’ve seen the old town of Rethymnon and Chania. Learned some Greek, tasted lots of Greek food and wine.

Looking forward to see what is next for me.
