I haven’t drifted this way for a while, but so good to see your progress (even if you haven’t made progress in the budgeting department!!). As for missing out on world news I can’t help but think you’re in a much better place, hearing local stories, learning local customs, all sounds far more enriching than the crap they fire out in the name of globalisation.

Anyway all the best with your ongoing travels. If you need an imperative to find ways of making ends meet it might be worth remembering there’s F all jobs back home! Better to be skint at sea than skint in the dull mundanity of land life!

Now where’s that Thai massage!!??
