  • Presence.

    Presence.

    To have presence. To be present. To have been present. I feel like the word and idea of ‘presence’ is tossed around a lot these days. But what does it really mean? How is one truly present? What does that consist of? Simply existing? No, it is much more than that. It is the firm…

  • Sundays, with love

    Rue Estelle. As I write to you, Jasmine reads aloud an extract from her book “All About Love”. The sunlight is hitting the adjacent building so nicely I had to capture this moment. I have always found exploring European cities on a Sunday quite interesting. With most shops, bakeries, and restaurants closed, remnants of ghost…

  • La vie en France est belle.

    My long return to London for the festive season has taken me on quite the journey through Europe. First, the Italian cities of Naples, Rome, Florence and now France. Last week I enjoyed spending time in the snowy alps region. Admittedly, Annecy, Lyon, and Saint-Etienne were all very cold, but lively Christmas markets, copious cups…

  • The Napoli Hustle

    The Napoli Hustle

    In the last week I have visited three major Italian cities: Naples, Rome and Florence. Aside from the obvious – fine Italian cuisine, gorgeous Tuscan wine, and Renaissance architecture, Naples stood out to me; the biggest and most populated city in the country, it gave me a unique and distinct impression of Italy and I…

  • Destinations.

    Destinations.

    I’m sat on a shuddering NYC subway typing away on my notes page once again. I like to write when I feel inspired. Just moments before losing myself in the diversity of my train carriage, I remembered this weeks blog post.  Today I did something very exciting. I took a huge step out of my…

  • Anticipation

    Anticipation

    It is 9am on a Friday morning. I am sat on my bed flicking through the last 5 months of my life. These paper pages tell my story in a fluid, complete, and totally me way. They help me to make sense of my life. They say we all have our own personal form of…

  • Candy floss Sunset 

    Candy floss Sunset 

    It’s sunset. The sky has a pinky candy floss hue. Sheltered by the soaring mountains to my right and engulfed by the abyss of the Pacific Ocean in front of me, I feel safe. Despite hearing the sounds of dogs barking and cars in the distance, I cannot help but feel alone. Almost as if…

  • I’m on a break from street food (mostly tacos).

    I’m on a break from street food (mostly tacos).

    What’s the first thing you think about when you hear the word ‘Mexico’? I’ll give you 5 seconds. If your answer wasn’t tacos then something is wrong. Only joking. But seriously, the street food in Mexico is some of the best street food you will find in the entire world. Juicy elote smothered in creamy…

  • I want to live by the ocean forever.

    I want to live by the ocean forever.

    30 foot palm trees, eclectic umbrellas engulfed in the softness of the sand, the tranquility of the ocean at the foot of the desert land. The sea kisses the buzzing energy of the people sat on its shore. Beach vendedores cross the beach, selling everything under the sun: fresh oysters prepared in front of you…

  • I want to write about moments.

    I want to write about moments.

    I made a new friend. He is a minimalist and is dedicated to the pursuit of moments, experiences, and memories, rather than material items such as a car, house, and fancy watch. Berkeley’s theory of Immaterialism seeks to understand the nature of the perceived world. His theory starts with the negative thesis that material things…
