Also: “The Cogless Steampunk” Last weekend, after an amazing all-nighter rave called Rumpus, I heard about another all-nighter called Imaginarium – a sci-fi/fetish themed event. This one, unlike most of the others, required some sort of effort be put into your costume. At previous events, considering I’m living out of a backpack, I hadn’t bothered […]

Aaaaand, I’m Back in London
Big surprise, huh? I can’t seem to stay away from this place. But I have an excuse! It was actually for “work” this time – Mercedes invited me to come drive a good selection of their cars, anything from the smart electric car to the monstrous 600 horsepower Mercedes SLS AMG supercar. So really, was […]
A Glutton for Punishment: London to Paris on a Bus
And so the time has come. I’ve been in London for exactly two months, and I’m coming awfully close to my one-year anniversary for this trip. I just booked a ticket, as you can see, for Tuesday to ride from London to Paris on a bus. That’s a 7.5 hour ride. On a bus. Without […]
I’ve Been Kicked Out of the UK
I really wish I had a cool story to go along with this. Maybe I should make one up. Sadly, it’s a simple case of another immigration officer being a twat. I went to Munich last week to visit a good friend. Had a great time, check out the Munich, Germany article. When I first […]
Poznan to Berlin to London – 17 Straight Hours of Travel
April 19, 2012 When on the road, some days are just like this. It sucks, but you have to just suck it up and chalk it up to the experience, or whatever makes you feel better. I really liked my time in Poland – the women are gorgeous, the food is cheap, I spent time […]
Off to Poland, Suddenly
I’ve been in Berlin now for 12 days or so, and I’m totally not ready to leave. I absolutely love it. But I know I’ll be back when my friends come to visit (if I don’t end up moving there first,) so it’s time to explore another place. I met a cool Polish gal, Marta, […]
I Visit an Underground Spaceship
Berlin has so many cool underground treasures – stuff you’ll only find if you know a local. That’s the beauty of backpacking vs. tourism – I could check into the hotel and see all the stuff in the guidebooks then move on, or I could get to know some badass locals who take me to […]
Ten Days in Copenhagen, Denmark
It’s usually more economically feasible to travel by land to countries bordering the one you’re in now. So why did I go from Italy straight to Denmark? Top Gear Live. A 90 minute live show from the hosts of my favorite TV show – Top Gear. “You flew across the continent for a 90 minute […]
Well, That was Awkward
So last night I was walking down the street in Milan, looking for a late-night snack. Saw a tent sign for a Kebab place standing next to a cardboard standup cutout of Fonzie, which I thought was a bit strange, but stood next to it trying to decipher the sign for 15 seconds or so. […]
