Rob’s travels started with a one way ticket out of Perth and into the Asian and South American continent 4 years ago until landing later in Madrid. He had volunteered from hostel to hostel and done a series of odd jobs to fund his travels if not his stomach. What I’ve always found impressive about him (and secretly envied), was his way of living day to day with an unconcerned manner. He owned very little clothes and walked around with very little care about it. His foot had tattoo that read “Lucky” – and if anything, Rob made his own luck, in his own way – simple and easy going. He did not owe anything to anyone anymore, and went where roads would lead him - where there would be a roof above his head, or food in his plate – and most of all good people around. Hence, life didn’t own him, but he owned life.

Once upon a time travelling Europe was considerably more difficult for non-Europeans, unless various countries had agreements between specific countries, such as they commonly did with the United States (US). These days, the process of travelling Europe has been easier by the introduction of what is known as the Schengen area.
