Lots of cycling

Fun fact: I’ve cycled more this month so far (559.5km) than in the entire year of 2012 (556.8km). 🙂

Heading home on Deutsche Bahn!

Well that was an awesome trip. In total, it was over 260km, over three days. I’ve got some soreness in the legs but I’m feeling totally fine over all. Here are some learnings: – Gear is important!! Padded biking shorts were a life saver (in that they saved the lives of my future children). Side

Canada? Is that not in Europe?

I was trying to buy a stamp today from the girl at the hostel desk. She said she only had stamps for France and Europe. When I told her I needed one for Canada, she asked, “Canada isn’t in Europe?” with a truly puzzled look on her face. Definitely not the brightest bulb.

Business travel

Trips that change things in your life

I always say that one of the best parts about travelling is when it makes a change to your normal, every day life. Of course, travelling can change you in huge ways: Vancouver had a major role in developing who I am today but I am talking about the small things from the smaller trips

Nach Bonn und Köln!

A relative who lives in Bonn has offered me a job at his company in Köln, doing web stuff! It’s not gaming but it’s a great start, especially since he has offered to let me live in his house for the three months he can offer me (for now). From there, we will see if
