Tava no meu último semestre da faculdade na Austrália, depois de sumir por três semanas viajando feito um completo degenerado — achei que ia conseguir colocar a vida nos trilhos. Aí Nigel apareceu. Imagina um boneco de neve humano com 1 metro de altura, a atitude de um Danny DeVito bêbado e o caos de uma granada prestes a explodir — e isso foi só o primeiro dia.

Depois de seis semanas de puro caos, meus últimos dias em Budapeste com o Jesús tomaram um rumo inesperado — hostel vazio, noites insanas e até uma visita à delegacia, onde ele tentou (sem sucesso) inventar um assalto.

É a história de fechar um capítulo e abrir outro da forma mais inesperada possível. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
