Lots To Cover

I have been travelling much of 2016 on a big adventure trip, which I loved of course. I had 2 trips, America for 3 months and then over summer went to Zante.

LA/Vegas

Before I start, I am so glad I done this trip. At 24 years of age, I am young and I wanted to travel for a long period and experience that in my life. I had a good 6 months break from poker which was actually a good thing because I've came back motivated but more on that later. Los Angeles was a great place. I love American people and I had a blast meeting lods of different personalities at the hostels and even meeting lots of people walking around. Very friendly social place and I do plan on going back there next year even if just for a week or 2. I went lots of hiking, spent lots of time with a variety of people, done some touristy things and also played some football with the Hispanics down the park. Because of social media these days, I'm able to keep in touch with people I met over FB etc which I'm really happy about, great memories over there.

Vegas

For a guy at 24 that stays in the other side of the world, being to Vegas for my 3rd time is a great accomplishment, I am very blessed to have been giving that opportunity to go there. The first few weeks I was staying down at a hostel but the last week I stayed at a hotel on the strip which was really nice called the Luxor. Met really cool people there and I actually didn't gamble much this time, just a couple of slots. More drinking going to clubs and pool parties this which I had got to experience a little the last two times but not as much as this one

I would love to live in America one day, over in the west coast. Very hard to get into so not really planning on moving anytime soon but I'll keep visiting as much as I can

Zante

Zante was really fun, different type of heat though, it can get draining. I was mostly just going out every night drinking and sleeping in really late. Had a lot of fun nights here though, eating was more tricky for me being vegan but yeah glad I went there.

So had a lot of fun on this trip and although I don't plan on going for trips of that length of time I still want to travel, maybe down London later this year and America next year again.

Poker

The break was good for me but I'm back grinding at poker. I feel more fresh and motivated to play, still at 2NL at the moment but playing well overall and I can feel 5NL getting closer and closer. I really want to move up the stakes and compete at the top level. But it's been good fun to be playing again.

So I am still single just now which I do enjoy as I am comfortable in my own company and don't need someone else to motivate me or help me etc. With that being said, now that I've been single for two years and coming up 25 I am open to a relationship, don't really see it happening within the next few months at least. I met lots of girls on the road which was cool cause it was good to meet people from different cultures and learn. I like that.

So a few quieter months for me but I plan on getting a cinema card again soon and I also plan on catching up with friends soon.

The blog was a bit all over the place tonight, please forgive me I was watching a Euros semi final whilst blogging.
