I had a major food overload yesterday. And way too much chilli.
Being around so much good food is inspiring. I'm already really motivated to cook well for myself when I return. Not just good Thai food but all the different types ... Read more >

I was a little disappointed with myself yesterday when I discovered there was a cooking school that did classes AND home-stay. The idea of it fit my original intention for this holiday so exactly, I couldn't help but kick myself mentally. I was really ... Read more >

I find myself in South East Asia after a day of falling asleep repeatedly on planes. The journey wasn't really that long but I did arrive close to midnight. My countless (and possibly embarrassing) episodes of narcolepsy tell me I must've been ... Read more >

A year ago, I was in a small Nepali village called Junbesi, in the foothills of the Himalayas.
My picture of life had been completely distorted then. I was beginning to part ways with my partner of nearly 4 years, someone I had relied on for comfort ... Read more >

I just finished Walter Mitty. Although it's not one of my favourite movies, I do like it. A few of my friends recommended that I watch it because he travels to some gorgeous places of the world, in it.
I didn't really quite know what to expect. He ... Read more >

This time last year I think I was having an impromptu big night out with my new friend Marianne in Montreal. Today, I spent my night with a run, cooking and doing CPD.
In a couple of days, I would have been in NYC last year. I definitely miss ... Read more >

I miss Istanbul. I miss their amazing breakfasts. I miss the cay that's always there. I miss tiny cups of potent coffee served in fancy silverware. I miss the fresh bread that's so easily attainable. I miss being fed all this awesome tasting food for ... Read more >

That is my current challenge. Before coming back to Brisbane, I'd decided that I'd like to avoid owning a car mainly because of the costs associated with having one, especially when it's not being used daily. A lot of people think it's quite a challenge ... Read more >

I think it's finally begun to really hit me that it's time to head back. It's my last day before I travel back to Australia. I'm packing and I'm really sad.
As I look through my wardrobe deciding which items to bring back, it's the dresses that trigger ... Read more >

I'm leaving Prague today for my last two days in Istanbul before heading back to Malaysia. My calendar tells me today marks the 12th month anniversary of when I left Oz.
It's been an unbelievable year.

Prague just continues to amaze me. And life just continues to surprise me. Something like today where I was completely blown away at Vysehrad, where this beautiful city was prophesised. I hadn't expected too much of it, having seen it on a boat cruise ... Read more >

Tomorrow I start my 3-week so trip back to Istanbul and Prague (and beyond?). :) I realise that I really do despise packing. I can't imagine how terrible and last minute my pack back to Australia will be! It will be epic!:-S

It's Christmas night here in KK, Malaysia, and everyone has gone to bed. It is merely 10.30pm and bedtime is usually at midnight - earliest! I can't believe it as much as I can't believe it's actually Christmas. Time really does fly...
