Friday evening. Last night hanging out in my little Thai apartment in Bangkok. What am I doing? Watching my laundry dry. Literally. There's actually something quite meditative about the way the water droplets drip through the clothes and fall onto the tile floor of the balcony. As to be expected,...Read More

Wednesday. Getting ready to move to Indonesia. How fun is that to say? Yesterday I got all the boring admin stuff out of the way. Booked my flight, applied for my visa, contacted the yoga school, and watched a documentary on the Dutch colonial history of Indonesia. Wow, what a...Read More

Tuesday. Sitting in the park with my coffee and cig. Feeling like I’ve conquered the world. It’s a vibe. Back to real life now. Laundry. Packing. Errands. Shopping. Squeegeeing the bathroom floor while singing The Beatles. Fun. Mentally preparing for my next YTTC now that I know what to expect...Read More

Tuesday afternoon. Woke up bright and early for my interview. It went surprisingly well. I'm feeling way more confident than I was yesterday. It's a good feeling. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna finish my application and send it off and hope for the best. That's that. I'm totally relaxed...Read More

Wednesday morning. Sitting in the park with my coffee. I wish there was a table outside the shop where I could sit and watch the street. Sadly, there is not. Instead I am back in the park, being one with nature instead. I woke up this morning at about 6am....Read More

Saturday morning. Having my much-believed iced mocha from the random coffee stand and a chocolate croissant for breakfast. This is my one true joy in this life. I was supposed to go out again last night but I fell asleep and missed the adventure. Luckily, I randomly woke up at...Read More

Wednesday night. Sitting at home alone in my gigantic loft, again. I’m spending an absurd amount of money on it, so I’m staying home to enjoy it. It is what it is. I finally made a decision about what to do. I booked the last spot at a 300hr Yoga...Read More
