Mykonos, Greece
Did you know lizards can do push-ups?! I can’t stop myself from screaming at every new minute discovery in regards to life on an island, but David knows and remains mostly unimpressed, but wearing that little content smile on his face. He truly is in his element here in
The Big Clean-Up
Seventy two hours, twelve packets of wet wipes, a toilet scrubbing induced carpal tunnel and five gallons of all purpose cleaner later, it’s a wrap on our chalet hosting episode. Of course, that ‘hosting’ part is but a tip of a gargantuan iceberg of responsibilities involved in doing a
Corrèze, Sophie's Farm
Saturday 13th November, Laudrerie, Correze region The landscape outside looks like it’s on fire, all the yellow & orange colors of the trees lit up by the sharp November sun. The only soundtrack being a steady hum of our electric fireplace and that curious black horse called Godsend grazing
ANTIsocial Media
I made a decision to quit Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. To be fair, this was long time coming. We are all aware that social media, that were supposedly meant for people to connect, have achieved the exact opposite. We know they're fucked up. We all watched exposés like
Sofia, Bulgaria / On The Road
Like, thirty eight degrees is a lot! I don’t want to be complaining, we’ve already been so lucky - the whole of 2021 has so far been one never-ending, deliciously golden, hipster vintage filter Lana Del Rey summer music video. I mean, we had 27 degrees in February,
Prohodna Cave / On The Road
As soon as you leave Sofia, you’ll find yourself surrounded by forest-covered mountains layered like an old-fashioned paper diorama. Slicing through them on snaking motorways feels like an excursion into pre-history, I’m just waiting for a long sauropod neck to pop-up through a seemingly impenetrable blanket of tree
Czech to Bulgaria / On The Road
Sunday 18/07 :: 2pm :: Slovakia, our 1st lunch on the road. Burgers & chicken strips I fried yesterday, plus mayo - probably the least sensible thing to consume on the road. We sit on a blanket behind a petrol station. I lay down in a shade of a single pine
France to Czech / On The Road
Hey you guys! Finally a focused moment for a little update. I'm sitting on a patch of grass in front a totally abandoned railway station in French Pyrenees, close to the border with Spain. I'm waiting for a tumbleweed to roll by any minute now..it&
French Avalon / On The Road
Toulouse to Corrèze, 01/05-05/05 First of May. Exactly three months after arriving at our first Workaway stay in Château de La Bataille, South of France, we’re back on the road. I looked forward to having a focused time to catch up on reading & journaling, podcasts &
Things I’m Gonna Miss / Workaway Diaries
There are two giant Japanese Camellia trees growing right next to the terrace adjacent to our bedroom. I never knew they could grow this tall. Their branches reach to the chateau’s roof level, heavy with lush crimson flowers. I like chilling here with my journal, letting the imagination run
A Week to Go / Workaway Diaries
And I don’t feel ready. When we leave the castle on the 1st of May, it will be exactly 3 months since our arrival. Yes, we came for three weeks of a Workaway experience (our first!) and instead submerged ourselves in the big Unknown, merged with this bonkers and
Scandalous Shorts Season / Workaway Diaries
> The constant facade of order hides the wilderness that is craving to seep out and teach us that life wasn't created to be what we think it is... we must experience the wilderness to be taught what cannot be otherwise known. —Serene Jones It's hard
