Dazed and confused

"I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life." (Groundhog day).

After stuffing my face the night before on steak pieS and chips, enough to last me over a year, that fateful taxi came to deliver a curious traveller. In the middle of the night, a one way ticket beckoned.

There is no way to plan a trip for over a year, I don´t care what anyone says. It´s impossible. You through some stuff in a bag and hope for the best. Weighing in at around 19kg, I was a heavyweight waiting to dish out my first thrashing to all those wannabe dreamers. Time to live the dream baby.

You through some stuff in a bag and hope for the best.

The great escape had already taken a turn for the worst and I was afoot without any plastic. In a foolish act of drunken carnage I´d lost both credit cards only a few days earlier. I wasn´t about to lose my first bout, let alone the fight. Onwards and westwards. A dreary eyed Nico, bound for Buenos Aires, boarded without looking back. Dazed and confused, yet full of stubborn contentment.
