Nowhere 2025

Nowhere is the biggest European Burn. It takes place in July in the Monegros desert in Spain. This was my first real adventure in Ripley, my van. I camped for the third time with 'Eat Your Art Out' - A queer barrio (or camp) and had some really wonderful experiences, although... spoiler alert: I left early.
