Përshëndetje familja! Welcome to my little post-it note on the inter-web. I’m currently walking from England to India so if I’m slow in replying to your messages that’s my excuse — even though I’m always slow in replying regardless of what I’m doing, anyway…

I’m taking a week off in Yerevan, Armenia after an incredible, life altering nine days spent with Jonny hiking through the mountains of Albania from Alaverdi to Yerevan.

Here in the capital I have been hosted by Narine, a remarkable woman who is navigating raising two sons, running a guest house, working multiple engineering jobs, finishing her PhD, and all of that having lost her husband less than three months ago. Elena, a Parisian woman, and I have been touristing Yerevan together. She is on a pilgrimage of her own, to Japan by train, after being very moved by reading 源氏物語 / The Tale of Genji.

Come take a look at my progress, or lack thereof.

Updates from the road are mostly going on in the WhatsApp group, if I forgot to add you then flick me a message. If you don’t have WhatsApp then I will slowly be adding those updates to this site too but I’m already half a year behind on that so don’t hold your breath! :D

There’s a little bit of non-walk related stuff below too.
