My solo journey of the heart and World
I really enjoyed my time in Plovdiv and would visit there again but wouldn’t be in a hurry to return to Sofia. The night of my train trip to Istanbul, I took a taxi to the train station and boarded my train at 9:45pm. My assigned cabin was the first one after the doors and unfortunately …
I took the 2 ½ hour bus trip to Plovdiv and then tried to figure out what bus to take that would get me closest to my apartment. I waited awhile and then after no bus came with the route I was looking for, I asked a taxi driver how much it would cost. They quoted me …
I left the bunker site in the morning and decided to take the bus to the airport outside of Edinburgh. I wasn’t in a huge rush, I had to be at the airport around 10:00am and the bus would only take about 25 minutes. I stopped in the common kitchen to get some coffee and the …
I spent the next day resting and working. To be honest, staying out past midnight does not suit me and I was feeling a bit sluggish. So I took the day to rest and work and to plan some things for after I leave Inverness. I had nothing arranged beyond the next 3 days so I had to …
My final evening in Ullapool I decided to go out for a few pints at one of the local pubs as I typically do. I am not sure why I feel like on my last night I want to soak up as much of the culture of the place I am in as I can. So I …

For some reason, this particular trip took closer to 50 minutes and I was starting to get worried that I would miss my train. I could take another train later …
The particulars of this workaway were simple and flexible. You put in 20 hours of work a week and the rest of the time was yours. And you could do your hours whenever you pleased. You could do 4 hours each day, you could do two 10 hour days. I tried to get my work done in 4 …
I was making my way to Edinburgh to do my first “workaway”. Workaway is a program where people that have work that needs to be done on their property trade the work hours for a place to stay. There is a whole website dedicated to matching travelers to hosts and it ranges from childcare to sheep tending …
The next day, I got to Dunoon at about the same time but because the weather was nice, I decided to walk through the town to the stadium this time instead of taking the bus. The Main Street of town was shut down to traffic and crowds were not only making the same journey as …
The next morning, I took myself out for a walk and wanted to scope out the ferry terminal and ticket situation as I would be taking the ferry to Dunoon the following day to attend the Cowal Highland Gathering. It was a really pretty morning so I walked along the water and during that walk, I …
