An Escapologist’s Diary: Part 78. Travel in Pictures.

This series of posts — starting with a 2009 escape and running to the present moment — answers the question “what would I do all day without a job?” in a sarcastic level of deatil.

It’s the end of 2024 and I’ve been on the road for almost two months. Here’s where I’ve been, in tantalisingly (pointlessly?) context-free pictures.

Paris:

Utrecht:

Amsterdam:

Back home for five minutes:

Barcelona:

Belgrade:

Zagreb:

Athens:

London:

Montreal:

(Should I get a better camera? I use a very old and tired iPhone 6. I’m still blown away by the quality achievable by such an old camera*, but it would be so cheap and easy to raise my game by upgrading to, say, a second-hand iPhone 11. Is that what I should do? Or should I get a cheap DSLR or something? Please leave a comment or email me if you know about these things).

(*That first pic from Paris was taken with someone else’s newer phone, so ignore that one if assessing image quality. The light was great in that coffee shop too).
