Chiang Mai is great but I'm craving a change. As domestic flights in Thailand are relatively cheap, I've decided to head south - it's more of a timeliness thing and goes against my "by ground" travel plans , but 12 hours in an overnight bus was just to risky, despite the price. So for the princely … Continue reading Life rafts

Bump in
Crazy coincidences make travel so unexpected and fun. This a rambling tale but bear with it. Yesterday I travelled up to Chiang Dao, Northern Thailand - about 50km from the Burma border and just simply stunning mountains, rice paddy's and lush dense jungles. Imagine the Warrumbungles covered in dense jungle and tropical rainforest, veiled by … Continue reading Bump in
Nevermore
So 2014...that's when it started for me. There's a lot of history but let's start here. I'm going to overshare so trigger warning here if you are grieving. 2014 : L and I were engaged after an exciting, intense relationship.

My good friend CB picked me up from the airport this morning, reoriented me and introduced … Continue reading Hot
Airports
Well yoga course finished and I managed to avoid the goodbyes, trim my belongings down further and get to the airport without having to relive any sad farewells. The past week getting my head back into Svasha Yoga Therapy with Ganesh Mohan has been wonderful, challenging and so much fun. It's really helped pull my … Continue reading Airports
Airport farewells suck…
So what is this wordy stream of consciousness that I'm reading. Firstly it's from my perspective - it's as honest as I can be but if you are in it and don't like it, tough. This is my take. Secondly, it's therapy for me and hopefully entertainment or inspiration for you, depending on your circumstances. … Continue reading Airport farewells suck…
