Bored accountant. Unaccomplished writer. Blind adventurer

To fulfill the hole in my soul I am hitting the road! Or rather, the tracks. Because no one is willing to let someone with my sight operate heavy machinery. So, by plane, train, boat and bus I will be exploring Europe.

When I think of adventure, I don’t think of that hiking and camping nonsense. I think of museums – big, small, general, niche – and old churches way to big and grandiose for their town. I think of wondering around a city for the first time and getting very lost. I think of becoming really good friends with someone new for thirty six hours until we each head in new directions. You know, the free and cheap stuff!

Every time I see it mentioned, I think about the one time I saw the musical on stage and how much I disliked it.  I like musicals, I’ve seen Hamilton and Hadestown in London, along with multiple stagings…

    A Spanish Pit Stop in Bilbao

    One of the great joys of this trip is that the stars aligned and I was able to meet up with friends I wasn’t sure I would ever see in person again and spend a day with them. In 2019 I did the Camino de Santiago with my sister. On that trip we met two…
