The journey of a thousand miles …

… starts with a single step.

That’s what they say. My journey lasted for almost 1,600 km now. I traveled through land, sea and air.

Through land? Yes, I walked, rid trains and buses and even hitchhiked for a bit.

Through air? Well, let’s just say that all the different scents make you wish you can fly away. And through the sea? Alright, I didn’t went through the sea but I spent a lot of time in the sea. I’ll leave it like that.

Maybe one day I will travel through air and sea.

My first step was already 23 days ago, a roller coaster for my feelings. But now, here in Valencia, I’ll settle down for a bit. Because I’m working for a hostel from now on. They don’t pay me, though, but at least I can sleep here for free and get something to eat every day.

At first I’m getting comfortable in my hostel room.

Never have I been so happy to be the only one in a room.
