A few years back, Hollie Roberts left "a giant Australian rut" to travel Europe and then Central America, before returning to Europe to work for Stoke Travel. She has worked in hostels, hosted surf trips, and organised festivals to keep the traveling dream alive (and funded). We first met Hollie when she penned us a hilarious review of the nightlife in Budapest, Eastern Europe's up-and-coming party town. You can read more about her experiences, opportunities, people she's met, and places she's been on her website, Holliedays and follow her on Twitter @Holstarrrr. We caught up with her to see what she has been up to since leaving Budapest and recovering from that hangover....

1. You are currently in Spain working for Stoke Travel – why don’t you give us a quick rundown of how you made it there from your home in Brisbane, Australia?

I made the decision to give in to that niggling travel itch in June 2013. Less than a month later, all nerves aside, I was on a plane bound for Corfu, Greece, to volunteer at The Pink Palace, one of Europe’s top party hostels. Nearly two years (and a cancelled flight home) later, I am still here.
