Wellborne - Chris de Montfort Wellborne

I'm 23 years old and I got bored of having not travelled much - so I decided to do that and get paid for it - hence me becoming a travel rep for Thomsons. This vanity project is here to document my experiences travelling Europe and working for Thomson's in the summer season of 2008.

C is for Customers, Complaints, Colleagues & Cretins… Good morning everybody, I’m sat in my baking hot apartment at 07.45 killing 13 minutes of time before starting my duties at the Ambasciatori Palace, I must confess that I’m not entirely awake - I’m sure that somewhere in this condo is a picture of me sleeping… So, ‘C’ is rather an all-encompassing entry for working with people on both sides of the organisation. As I sat down to write this, a quote my good friend Miles Redwood-Davies used to use rather liberally couldn’t help but spring to mind (no, it wasn’t [View Full Entry]

B is for Booze

 Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
B, mi amici, e per Booze. Editor’s Note This is my least coherent entry yet (and hopefully ever), this is due to the very nature of the subject and it might not be the most informative, amusing of worthwhile entry I have made, but being the artist of integrity I am I feel that deleting the words that were written whilst under the influence would just be selling-out. Now seems as good a time as any to attack this subject. The reason for this is that right now I am still half-cut from the biggest binge that I have managed whilst [View Full Entry]

Ok, so the traveling part of the blog is over, I am no longer on holiday and am in fact working, or at least doing a damn good impression of someone who is. If I continued this as a quasi-diary/journal it would end up dull reading as the interesting events are spread over days, whilst some of the parts of the job are good to know about so that if I write or talk about them you have a vague idea of what I mean. Furthermore, it gives me an excuse to keep doing this daft idea. I actually quite enjoy [View Full Entry]

Venice. Yeppers.

 Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
Greetings Earthlings, How I find the time to write these damned things up I will never know, for today’s entry and recollections I am sitting by my dining room table, the Venetian sun filtering in with the ever-beautiful sounds of workmen destroying the car-park below my apartment building filling the air. It was so nearly very picturesque. Not much more to write up, about training at least, I’ve been too busy doing that thing called ‘living’ recently. I did receive an email from my father asking me if I was actually doing any work - yes, but only in the slightest [View Full Entry]

Treviso and Islands

 Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
Ciao belli, I am back with yet more words to ruin your brains with. I will warn that right now I am extremely tired as I am typing this up, so it may not be quite as descriptive, but hopefully you will still sense the enthusiasm I have for this damned place. I have just realised I have been in Italy for exactly one month. I rock. Also, kudos to those of you sending emails, proper job. Made me laugh. Right, back to this gosh darned travelling malarkey… So, I’ve done Verona and Lake Garda, Portogruaro, Strada del Vino, Slovenia Caves [View Full Entry]

How tragic is my life that I find myself in front of my laptop yet again, writing up the events of previous days for this darned blog? Well, to be honest, I have to admit that my life really isn’t tragic as I’m having an absolute ball, so far I have got to travel through Corsica and Italy as well as get to learn a language whilst eating and drinking well along the way. In the interests of not getting distracted (despite it being a favourite past-time of mine) I will jump right back into where we were when I [View Full Entry]

This has gone wrong so many times when trying to publish an album, here's a link http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i222/cdemw/Corsica/ - click on it and hopefully it will show the album. If not, I despair, and will have to work out another method soon. Love you all, Ciao [View Full Entry]

This is a stupidly long entry - as I have not had access to the internet for the past few days I have been writing up entries on my laptop but been unable to publish them. As a result there will now be a stuipdo amount of information in this one, do your best, I hope it's interesting and much love to you all. Even Greg. Ciao ------- Buongiorno Amici! This one is a really long one, so have some patience, it might be best to plan a tea-break half way through…I apologise that the entries are so long and so [View Full Entry]

Jesolo di Lido

 Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
This was written in the hotel two nights ago on my laptop and now, after much going between to sort out pen drives, USB cables and such, it is now on this computer! -------------- Right now I am in the Hotel Trento, watching Scalo-76 on the television on my second day in Italy whilst trying to work out the best way of writing up the remainder of my travelling to get to Jesolo, as well as describing what is happening. It isn’t easy! So, I think I should at least attempt to maintain some kind of linear story-telling here and carry [View Full Entry]

Corsica to Italy

 Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
Bonjour mes amis, I have found the time and wilpower to write up further what has happened. Having just read my previous entry I realised I have made a slight mistake - I collapsed on the bed to sleep the night before I explored Porto Vecchio. Mecredi 16eme Avril So, I explored Porto Vecchio by morning and then Marc, Emma & I headed to Solenzara, on the East coast of Corsica. We had lunch at a beautiful restaurant, A Mandria, where I had yet more Corsican meat. This was a fantastic place, they had their panzetta hanging up from the ceiling [View Full Entry]
