Time travel

I’ve been on a bit of a retrospective posting binge lately. For the last month, I’ve been drafting and publishing posts about the three months I spent travelling with a small group through Eastern Europe in 1990. For years, I’ve talked about documenting my travel adventures, which began before this blog started in 2006. My time in Eastern Europe was one such project, followed by the three months I then spent backpacking through Western Europe.

I’m proud to say I’ve finally completed the story of my time in Eastern Europe. To follow this journey, start with this introductory post. Links within each story then take you on a ride through Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria, before concluding with an idyllic holiday in Northern Greece. There are ten posts in total.

I’ve also started chronicling the backpacking odyssey that followed my time in Eastern Europe. However, it'd be fair to say that this experience isn’t as well-documented. I have little more than a photo album and a pile of souvenir ticket stubs to guide me. As a result, these archival posts require significant amounts of research as I strive to trigger and recall old memories. To follow this journey, start with this introductory post.

To date, I’ve documented my time in Berlin and Norway, including a 700 km excursion north of the Arctic Circle, as well as posts about my first time in Morocco. Enjoy!
