April 17th, 2018 – I’ve just arrived at my hostel in London, I haven’t slept in 30 hours but I can’t force my body to rest. I’m homesick and riddled with anxiety and fear. Two months of travelling alone is all that is on my mind, I can’t think clearly but my brain tells me I …

The Humboldt Broncos: a team that everyone across the nation knows about for the wrong reason. Well, at least that’s how it started.
