My Nomadic Life: Embracing the Unexpected
It’s in my blood, this travel bug. I was born with it, into it, and it has only grown stronger with every passport stamp, every border crossing, every coastline I’ve walked on that signals the end of a continental mass that still hasn’t been swallowed up by the Ocean. Every year, as I stubbornly become… Continue reading My Nomadic Life: Embracing the Unexpected
My Nomadic Life: According to Plan
I asked for adventure and the Universe delivered. It was only day two and nothing was going according to plan. But that's okay— unpredictability was expected, it was, in a way, part of the plan.

Florida: Wynwood Walls, Miami
To me, Miami is all about bright, bold colours, sharp shapes, and strong contrasts; in my mind's eye, I saw the city tattooed with the indelible remnants of art deco and its own brand of 1970s Floridian style, representing its unique mix of cultures and influences. I visited the Wynwood Walls art district in July… Continue reading Florida: Wynwood Walls, Miami
