Santa Cruz
I could never, in a hundred summers, get tired of this. – susan branch This seaside city is one I will forever endeavour to return to. It’s essence is something that cannot be found anywhere else, which makes it one of the most memorable places I’ve had the privilege of passing through. From the famousContinue reading “Santa Cruz”

If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet. – Anon Physically, I’m sat at home in fluffy socks and a large jumper. Mentally, I’m stood in the bustling central Munich streets, listening to the chimes of the Rathaus Clocktower in the large open-spaced Marienplatz and looking out forContinue reading “Munich”
Places and Perspectives
I’m writing this from the perspective of someone who has been to other countries and seen first-hand the differences between people’s experience of place vs. people’s perception of place. And also because the first question people always asked me after I visited India was “Was there a lot of poverty and people living on theContinue reading “Places and Perspectives”
