A travbuddy meetup in my own hometown Bratislava, who would believe that.

Jun 03, 2008 - Jun 04, 2008
The day after the meetup we got up around 8.30am and started to get ready. Estephanie and Wayne planned to take the train at 10:40am to Vienna, we should have enough time I tought.  Taking shower, packing, breakfast, last pictures together…we left a little bit later then I supposed. Not too much later, just a couple of minutes later. Nothing tragic. But I forgot the traffic, damn. We were missing the train as the train station we were heading to is a bit far from my pla...

We completely collapsed on our sleepers as we got on the train nearly missing it by a minute. I felt like I was going to die from exhaustion for running miles to our train with bacpacks feeling a bit tipsy and mental already from the beers. And I blame it to Wayne. I even think it's his fault t...

The Slovakization of travbuddies.
posted by:
Jun 15, 2008
Just 2 weeks after welcoming the first travbuddies in my hometown Bratislava another one was coming. Don’t know if all these people haven’t seen the movies “Hostel”, “Hostel 2” or “Eurotrip”, but they were still people heading over here. Don’t misunderstand me, I think all these movies are crap even if it wasn’t Bratislava which is presented as the worst and most dangerous place on earth. Tried to convince myself that the reason might be my charming personality, but my su...
