📍 Location:Valencia → Alfas del Pi, Spain🗒️ Episode Notes:Good day — it’s Monday, September 29th. I started the morning just outside Valencia in a little town called Real, where the narrow countryside roads made for some beautiful, careful driving. From there, I made my way into the city to meet up with my longtime friend Scott Perry and his family. I’ve known Scott for over 15 years — we met back in Seattle through real estate circles — and it was great to see him again, now living in Spain with his wife from Colombia and their young baby.It happened to be what I’m calling a “snow day” in Valencia. The city was on alert because of heavy rain and flooding from the night before — schools and offices were closed, and driving was messy. After a great visit and coffee with Scott, I set off again, this time through some serious downpour.My next stop was Alfas del Pi, a small coastal town about an hour and a half south of Valencia. That’s where I reunited with Johan, an old friend from my teenage years who’s joining me for the next month of the journey. He lives in Norway now and works in the plastics supply chain, but he and his wife Marianne spend time here in their apartment in a community filled with retirees from Norway, the Netherlands, and beyond.It was a short driving day but a meaningful one — reconnecting with old friends, reminiscing, and preparing for the next leg of the adventure.⏱️ Key Moments:0:00 – Leaving Real, Spain: Enjoying the narrow, winding countryside roads near Valencia.0:10 – Meeting Scott Perry: Catching up with an old friend from Seattle who now lives in Spain.0:20 – “Snow Day” in Valencia: Unexpected storms and school closures due to flooding.0:40 – Heavy Rain on the Road: Navigating difficult weather leaving Valencia.1:00 – Arrival in Alfas del Pi: Reuniting with Johan, a lifelong friend joining the journey.1:20 – Settling In: Getting organized, relaxing, and preparing for the next phase.
