Sofia was an insane town. Sophia is an insane woman! So in a way I don't know why I was surprised… It was a rather interesting train ride from Prague, full of absolutely stunning Czech/Hungarian/Serbian countryside which was the best distraction from the creepy conductor who spoke no english and stole my eurail pass for about 12 hours…But in the end it was Ok. I managed to sleep for most of the night, save for a few passoport inspections in the middle of the...

I wish to revisit my dear Denmark. This was the most wonderful week. I really enjoyed staying with Kirsten, Jens, Anton, Emil and Freja. And there are many bits and bobs I never really wrote about so here goes…Denmark, I think, was a beautiful, comforting embrace for me. I felt almost at home here.

There was something so scary about not knowing what I was going to do that night or where I would ...

I am staying with Mette's good friend Kirsten, who I met...

On my last day in Berlin I took the train to Oranienburg and went to Sachsenhausen Concentration camp and Memorial. I spent about 4 hours there. I don't think I can possibly go into what it was like in enough detail to revisit that kind of feeling, it was overwhelming and yet it was like it wasn't real, it could be real, cos how could such horrible things be really true, I mean its different to reading about it and talking about it, this is about as close as it...
