Drink Beer and Water

In 2015 I set out on a three month holiday of backpacking through Europe. One of my passions in life is Beer, and I intended to visit as many Bars on my trip as I could manage.

But what I really found important, was managing Water. Carrying too much stuff in a Backpack is thirsty work, and dehydration can really ruin your day. I found myself having fun solving this problem; I found items in my luggage that could be discarded to save weight, and established a rule for carrying two bottles of Water in my Bag.

A safe drinking campaign poster in Amsterdam really connected these ideas together for me, “Drink Beer and Water”. Go out and have fun, but be practical about it.

This blog is intended to collect some of the practical knowledge I’ve picked up over the years while I’ve been having Fun.

I hope you enjoy reading,
