London. I find the city both chaotic and inspiring London. I find the city both chaotic and inspiring. So many people on autopilot, rushing, escaping, intoxicating themselves. But then there is much creativity flourishing, so many diverse characters, immersive events to indulge into, shops and cuisine influenced by every corner of the world, and an ever-inspiring landscape of contrasting characters that create such a unique experience when you take a step back, pause, and simply observe.

I watched as the water remained still, reflecting the terrain as the moon descended over the hills. The sun rose and brought the lake to life, as mist ascended from the crispy coldness of the lake, and birds flew in to dance, celebrating another day of light.

Kirsty smuggled me off Magnetic Island with her sister, Emma in Australia a few years ago on their RV bathroom after I got a little stranded (deliberately, I was in love with the place!) and missed my tour bus up north. We've been great friends ever since. Also, I highly recommend an electric bike. It's completely changed my world, and I can charge it for free off the van's solar.
