I ended up travelling almost all of my 20’s. What’s next in life? Finished a university degree age 21. Got rid of all possessions and packed a backpack with £800 to my name. Went to Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Cambodia, volunteering in a beach resort, a hostel, a guesthouse, a farm, a cinema, a hotel, and a hostel on an island for 5 months. Returned to England with no money, looking after my elderly grandpa wh…

But it seems that there’s a station called Albufeira-Ferreiras, which is closer to our h…
