Reports

During my travels, I received free accommodation for a night in exchange for writing a daily travel diary. This diary documented how I reached my next destination, the hosts who welcomed me, the food I was offered, and other experiences along the way. Below, you will find the archives of these extensive reports. Please note that English is not my native language, and most entries were written quickly, often around midnight. Enjoy!

Barcelona --> Castelldefe (E) photos only

At the moment photos only. Stay up to date with publication of a report through the mailinglist.

After arriving in Barcelona after spending my night in the COLDEST train all the way from Madrid, I found myself a hostess with Evelyne Holland, who lives just south of Barcelona, in Castelldefe.

At her home I enjoyed her curry and rice and was I joined by Anke, a Dutch lady who is spending some weeks of vacation in Spain. Anke also invited me for later this week at her parent's apartment in Sitges.

I met up with Evelyne's lovely daughter Margot and her husband Francoise and basically spent most of the night at the dining table talking about Holland, Spanish habbits and about Evelyne who had moved to Spain after falling in love with her current husband.
