Shawn!

During my time in Spain so far, I have had the pleasure of a fine companion named Shawn. Shawn is a 26 year old who is originally from Toronto in Canada but who is currently living in London with his girlfriend. He is an aspiring journalist who is planning to write the piece of literature that will boost him into his career. He travels very light with only a small canvas backpack that is mostly full of little notebooks into which he records details of his travels. he records streetnames, restaurants, food names, drinks, areas and of course his thoughts and opinions. He described to me why he does this. He said "anyone can tell a story, but a story with details is a story well told" Interestingly enough I think I entirely agree with him. He is only travelling for two weeks but it shall be a fine two weeks of camping, fishing and chilling on the beaches and eastern coastline of Spain.
