52 Saturdays – Pensat i Fai – Valencia
#11 – You’re going to hear a lot about the “Spanish lifestyle” this month, mostly because I didn’t do jack shit but sit on the beach and drink and eat and sleep. If you’re doing anything else in Valencia they tell you you’re doing it wrong. Pensat i Fai “Pensat i Fai.” That’s Spanish in […]

52 Saturdays – Austrian Brothers
#6 – An impromptu trip to Graz, Austria to channel my inner Arnold Schwarzenegger led to a wild weekend. Plus, a hard lesson that you can travel halfway around the world and girls will still shut you down the same way. Austrian Brothers Was sitting in my cushy outdoor office in Prague at about 8 […]
