This is going to be a patchwork quilt of a post. It’s going to feel itchy, you’ll be confused, and it’s something you should probably just let gather dust in a cupboard.

Why are there so many men wearing track suits in Bulgaria? It’s a genuine question, please tell me if you can unravel this mystery. Our route: When I got off the plane in Sofia, Bulgaria, it immediately smelled like I thought Bulgaria would smell, even though I’ve never been there before. Just going to let

Girona in Spain is very Italian, if you ask me. Nobody did, but I share that opinion with everyone I meet. Bit sus. It’s a beaut. Apparently they filmed season 6 GoT here (do we all hate that I used the abbrev.). You can reenact the shame, shame, shame scene till your heart’s content. There
