Featured Notes on Eastern Europe

[fernfern]

Hi there,

I'm heading to Timisoara in Romania next week for a traditional music festival. Just wondering if you have any contacts or the like for couchsurfing or free camping? Your trip looks amazing, by the way!

Hey! Sounds like a cool festival. Unfortunately we didn't go to Timisoara so I don't know anyone there. We mostly met people in Brasov and Sibiu. I do know that there's a cool black metal band based in Timisoara called Negura Bunget. I feel like they might be involved in a traditional music fest. If not you should try to see them play. Have fun! Make sure you go hiking.

hello again! I realized I haven't made an update in over a week and I'm bored here in Kraków, drinking a beer and thought "why not make a somewhat drunk post on StP?"
since we last spoke:
1. I went to Prague! it was full of American and Australian twats and everything was more expensive than the rest of Eastern Europe. we didn't stay long. the coolest part of the city was the Kafka museum, which is kind of like a trippy art installation + artifacts.

2. next I hitched to Dresden and stayed with the German friend I met hiking in Bulgaria. he could only host for a night so we found some cool anarchists on couchsurfing and crashed at their 19 bedroom house with gardens. the first day I was there my hosts invited me to a pro abortion rally in annaberg bcholz. we danced and shouted and threw condoms at the pro lifers. I didn't take pics but here are some from the press.

3. i headed to the polish border, crashed in a city park, crossed the border by foot at görlitz, then took a train to wrocław and then Kraków, where I now sit, sippin some unfiltered Czech beer and looking for people to hang with. Zak went to a workaway gig in western Poland and he's apprenticing with a mad scientist, so I'm on my own. so... who wants to hang out?

Couchsurfing, in my experience, in Europe is off the chainnnn. Super easy, people were pretty rad and just heaps of folks to choose from practically everywhere. Goodluck though.
