I woke up suddenly, I turn to my mobile unsure of the time and it’s 12.30pm. Frustrated that I didn’t set an alarm, I had a quick shower and ate some leftover pizza for breakfast. It tasted good cold and thankfully, the lettuce hadn’t went soggy. I looked on my phone to see what was … More Day Forty Six, Toronto
The snoring last night from my dorm was dire. I saw people had actually moved into the common room to escape it.

I had slept in compared to everyone else in my dorm. It seemed like I was the only one in the hostel, so, I luckily didn’t have to wait to get a shower. I took my time, luxuriating in the fact no one was knocking on the door to rush me. I got ready quickly, … More Day Forty Four, Detroit
I was rushing around this morning, I hadn’t finished packing one of my bags so I had to scramble on my top bunk to get it ready and make sure everything was done. I had time for a quick bagel at breakfast and then I checked out. I got an Uber as I have grown … More Day Forty Three, Detroit
I made myself get up at 8.30 just so I could try the breakfast in the hostel. It was a good selection, I haven’t seen one like it in a long time. I chose a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and then I had a regular bagel with just butter. I didn’t fancy anything sweet … More Day Forty Two, Chicago

I woke up early again; I decided to just lie there for a little while thinking. I eventually dragged myself out of bed and went to get dressed.

I woke up at six in the morning; the blinds in the dorm room offered no protection from the rising sun.

I lay in bed, sending messages … More Day Thirty Eight, Nashville
I woke up wanting more sleep despite having slept for nine hours. Clearly yesterday had tired me out. I decided to give myself another thirty minutes to sleep which definitely helped.
