Oh I love this, so funny and self-deprecating and you. More please! (But you can avoid the ‘How long does it take to complete 50 hours of driving practice’ story … xxx
What I love most about this piece is how effortlessly it marries the chaotic hilarity of travel mishaps with a deep fondness for life’s little absurdities. Whether it’s the confusion about rooster milk, or the dog named Berghain, each anecdote comes across as naturally hilarious, like inside jokes shared between close friends. And somehow, in recounting all these small “failures” (like not realising roosters don’t produce milk, or missing the logic of sticky-side-up masking tape), the voice radiates self-confidence in a refreshing, unguarded way. It gives the sense that these missteps are actually what make the trip memorable.
The writing wins me over with its unpretentious, confessional style. It’s honest, it’s irreverent, and it reminds me that sometimes being the “Complete Fucking Idiot” is half the fun, especially when you’re lucky enough to be that fool in the company of a best friend who will laugh with you for years to come.
Wow, this is an incredibly thoughtful comment and I appreciate every word of it! Thank you for reading it and for feeling the intention behind the words 🙏
