long time, no blog

...well, like 2 weeks. Which is enough, since I've done quite a few things in that time, and I don't have all that much time to write here, so here goes:

- Weekend after I posted the last blog post -
Berlin Beach Camp. It's an event organised for a lot of CouchSurfers, there were maybe like 600 of us spending the long weekend at a beach in Berlin, yeah there is a beach even though it's not on the coast, it's beside a big lake and it was nice and sunny for most of the time! I hitch-hiked there with Chloe and came back with Anna. Ollie was there too. I met tons of new people, went swimming, played beach volleyball, played tons of guitar, cooked on a grill and sat by the campfire each night, and we also went into the city to do a Free Hugs campaign. It was a lot of fun, basically!

- Last weekend -
Prague. Chloe, Ollie and Anna hitch-hiked down there on Thursday, Camilla and I had to wait until after work on Friday. We got there at like 9pm after about 3 hours hitching, spent the Saturday morning in bed at a CouchSurfer's apartment, but the guy was getting evicted and we had to sleep in a hostel Saturday night. Saturday afternoon and evening was my only time seeing the city, not enough time, I have to go back there, which I will, since I can hitch-hike there and CouchSurf there nice and cost-effectively! Camilla and I didn't have an easy job hitch-hiking back to Dresden - a few waits of over half an hour, up to 2 hours at most, all together we were on the road from about 1 until 7 and arrived home after this epic journey on Sunday evening. Ollie has gone further south, to Austria, Hungary then Bulgaria. Chloe and Anna hitched back to Dresden, separately, and beat us.

- Now -
I have CouchSurfers! 3 cool Americans are sleeping at my place for the next couple of nights. I also have trouble at work, but am not allowed to go into detail about it. All I will say is I'm thinking about how I'm going to manage the rest of this year. Too unspecific but... yeah, until later,
