Apr 3 15 Countries

Becks & I were lucky and determined enough to visit 15 countries together

Ireland

Naturally, we were born here and lived together for the 8 years we overlapped before moving to ….

America

England

France

We visited together once in 2010 while I was in London. Early adopters of AirBnB we stayed in the apartment of a lovely man who had a Vespa and an orange scarf. We fought over directions in the street. Her French was so good she was undetectable as a foreigner. We got overdressed for a night out at Canal St. Martin and had to pretend we were off to the opera as we were openly stared at by the Parisians in Levi’s and converse.

Scotland

We popped over after Sarah Janes wedding and did a mad dash through the highlands with our cousin Duncan. I thought a Fiat 500 would be romantic. The remnants of a hurricane that blew through our little clown car brought me back to earth. Nevertheless, we saw every significant family and historical site from Inverness to Fort William, including putting our feet into Loch Ness.

Spain

Another side trip from London, we went to Barcelona with Marco and Crump. In this picture we are celebrating our old lady espadrilles and feasting on €5 sexy wine and market food on our AirBnB roof deck.

Sweden

We thought a side trip to Scandinavia would be a good shout as we migrated to Thailand. Thankfully we had the O’Donnell’s to host us in Gothenburg.

Denmark

The stress of the multi-continent move had caught up to us here. You can’t tell how much Panadol with codeine we were laced with. The little mermaid wasn’t even that impressive.
