So this one goes back to 2018…
It was a warm night in Sevilla, Spain. I was backpacking and finally in good health following some fairly serious illness following my travels through Russia for the World Cup.
I’d spent the night concurrently watching a match at an Irish pub and playing Tinder to no avail. I was pretty much sobered up as I was walking home and saw a gelato shop in a busy part of town and thought, yeah, sure, I enjoy and fancy gelato!
Following my purchase I stood outside the shop and went to work on my newly purchased goodness and trying to map my way back to the Airbnb when I was startled by a females voice at close range just behind me – I turned around and saw she was short/petite, blonde, cute with a hippy vibe and slightly older than me (me being 32 at the time, her closer to 37). In hindsight I can’t recall why she sought my attention, but we had a fun, friendly chat and both set off together looking for some weed. She was a traveller, like me and Canadian (I’m Australian). Fun fact: she said prior to meeting me she had an issue with Aussies lol
