Not as glamorous as it sounds. These sleepless nights are becoming all too commonplace…

The Drunken Dutchman

I’m not sure if he’s drunk in this picture, but he must have been intoxicated when this was the facial expression he selected for his website.

He loves to drink. Booze is not allowed in the hostel, but that hasn’t stopped him from pounding Heineken tall-boys in the common room and talking up any stranger within earshot. The Drunken Dutchman can’t be stopped, he can only be contained.

Back in The Netherlands, he body-paints naked women for a living.

He may be drunk and Dutch, but, by God, he’s living the American dream.

If you have seen me at any point in the last 3+ years in any kind of windy or cold weather, odds are that you’ve seen me sporting a gray-with-red-stripes American Eagle stocking cap.

It was the only AE gear in my possession, so of course it was certainly a prized possession. It will be missed.

This was one of the last times the little guy was photographed, a few years ago in Samuel P. Taylor State Park in Northern California.

I just flew into Ireland the other day and boy is my foot killing me.

After a rough couple of weeks of moving, stress and not much sleep, my adventure has finally started in Dublin, Ireland!
