What’s it like being back?
Posted on November 9, 2015 by noflytri in Travel tips.I’ve not written one of these for a while, but having been back now for 3 entire months and finding myself somewhat tired of seemingly spending all my time writing out numerous different versions of my CV, I thought it might be rather healthy to try to write something else, something I actually enjoy writing […]

Taking a freighter across the Atlantic Ocean
Posted on July 10, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Boats, USA.So, it’s almost time. And indeed, a few hours after posting this it will have already begun… The Voyage to Belgium (rejected title for Star Trek IV). Not quite home, but pretty damn close.
