Always headed west in my mind since i was little. At the age of 19, having only my backpack and festival-ish tent i did a round trip around Europe all by hitchhiking and Couchsurfing. That was back in 2010. Took me almost a year and 10.000km to go counter clockwise along the shores of italy, france and spain, to finally end up in England by 2012. Really amazing memories and hosts were met. Lived for few years in London, but then moved to Malta and most recently Portugal. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. C. S. Lewis
