It’s Thursday afternoon, July 14th, 2022, in Marina Zea in Athens, Greece. It’s 87 degrees, and the humidity dampens my shirt; this, along with the tiny beads of sweat forming on my brow, is barely uncomfortable. However, what truly is taxing my comfort and patience is the state of my two-month journey in Southeastern Europe— […]
If you haven’t watched my Journeys Webcasts, tuned into the WorldRider.tv YouTube Channel, or listened to the WorldRider podcast, you may have missed my whacky and humbling fight with vertigo.
