Altitude: 3440m.
We just came back from dinner. I had a lovely pork chop with red wine sauce and fries, freshly cooked for me. Very yummy! :) Not exactly what I dreamed about a few days ago - food dreams have become a daily sleep ritual for me since ... Read more >

I'm currently back in my hometown, Kota Kinabalu, on the Borneon side of Malaysia. It's been a little over seven months since I left Brisbane to travel the world. I was reflecting on my travels the other day and I realised that I haven't stayed ... Read more >

What a gift to the soul! My first long and normal sleep after being completely sleep deprived by Istanbul was in Siana Springs in the Maasai Mara in Kenya. I went to bed at 9.30pm with the peace and quiet of the jungle and then awoke to the gorgeous ... Read more >

Life's simple pleasures are really the most fulfilling.
