    Eu achava que a universidade era o lugar onde eu mais aprenderia na vida—até descer de um ônibus em Nimbin. Em poucos dias, essa pequena cidade hippie australiana me ensinou mais sobre liberdade, sociedade e o que realmente importa do que qualquer aula. Mas junto com toda essa sabedoria, veio um lado sombrio, e nem todo mundo que abraçou esse estilo de vida conseguiu sair dele.

    What happens when you skip the first two weeks of university, roll into campus with zero preparation, and somehow land in the best situation imaginable? This episode is about how I accidentally ended up at Bond University, why I took my student loan refund and immediately started scheming my next travel move, the legendary dorm culture at Bond and why it was nothing like I expected, the King of Weed—a character so ridiculous you won’t believe he’s real, and how one insane semester set me up for the wildest years of my life. This is where it all begins. No plan. No clue what I was doing. Just dumb luck, bad ideas, and a whole lot of fun.
