About Me & Hole Stories

Places I've been

Life is meant for good friends, great adventures, and craft beer. I think it's best to never plan everything out, but to just "go with the flow" and see where life takes you... ⠀ I live life completely on a whim and spontaneously. I know this would drive most people crazy, but I really don't think you fully live until you just surrender to the universe and trust that everything will be amazing. ⠀ Last fall, I booked a one-way-ticket, randomly, to go backpacking in Central America. There, I met a lot of really amazing people - like this chica, who I met in Nicaragua. A few months later I flew across the Atlantic to visit her in London (and to backpack solo through Europe)... And now, I'm living in Norway! Haha... ⠀ My life is so random, and awesome - I thank all of you who have followed me through it all, and welcome anyone new who has just joined the ride =)
I do not grow from the ground like a tree; I am not part of some plot of land. I have legs so I can wander, and wander I shall.
The Powerpuff Girls, taking over one of my favorite buildings in Milan, Italy!
I've been to a lot of places in this amazing world... But this is absolutely my favorite.
Polignano a Mare, Italy - on a hot summer day. ⠀ If you find yourself here, definitely check out the espresso bar called "The Super Mago del Gelo Mario Campanella" (directly on the main road into town, at the top of this beach) and order the "Special Coffee" - it is absolutely unbelievably good! It consists of espresso, lemon zest, a shot of amaretto, and cream... Amazing. ⠀ I'll write about it in detail on my website » go to HoleStories.com & search "coffee"
The Blue Pearl of Morocco ⠀ Located in the Northeast of Morocco, about 3 hours north of Fes, or 3 hours south of Tangier, Chefchaouen is definitely worth a visit from where ever you’re coming from. ⠀ Chefchaouen is the official name, but the locals simply call it “Chaouen.” You’ll hear travelers refer to it as “the blue city” because the name might be difficult to remember. ⠀ The bus I took cost 75MAD (Moroccan Dirham) which is about US$7.86 ⠀ For more info, and many more pictures, click the link in bio... OR, go to HoleStories.com and search "Blue Pearl"
Normality is a paved road - it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers will grow on it. Don't be normal. Be that unpaved, crazy, backwoods road. Run free and dance with other wild flowers.
Travel should not be a reward for working, or an "escape" - it's an education, a neverending story, a lifestyle.
Look for chances to take the less-traveled roads. There are no wrong turns. ⠀ Deep in the woods of Slovenia, I hiked with a new friend I had just made the day before. She said it was a "hike" - I'm glad she didn't tell me it was a 17km hike because I probably would have passed on this! ⠀ This is a natural land bridge. The hike here is amazing! Over a river, and through the woods... through a cave, and then on that little path you see below. What a crazy day. ⠀ Always say YES to new adventures. Don't pass it up, even if you want to be lazy!
