August 17, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Today was my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! The thought of turning 32 was not something I was particularly relishing.

Day 60 in SE Asia – Hanging Out My Arse But Still Radiating Light

August 16, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Last night at the closing of the Ubud Village Jazz Festival I’d had a blast; admittedly I’d drank far too much (mixing my drinks never serves me well) and hadn’t got much sleep, but I’d had a blast and wouldn’t have changed it for the world. However, today was pretty much a … More Day 60 in SE Asia – Hanging Out My Arse But Still Radiating Light

Day 59 in SE Asia – Golden Showers and Showers of Jazz

August 16, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; I naively thought (because I’m so young in my years), that Golden Showers were what pornographic dreams were made of. Some people find it a turn on. Some people find it sexy. Not me. I find it pretty repulsive. And as it turns out, Golden Showers are actually not what pornographic dreams … More Day 59 in SE Asia – Golden Showers and Showers of Jazz

August 10, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; “Poetry is what happens when nothing else can” Charles Bukowski I woke up early morning for yoga to ease my mind, my body needed bending, my thoughts pushed far behind.

Day 56 in South East Asia – Ubud, You’re My Medicine

August 9, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; “Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.” Charles Bukowski I remember it so fondly, my little go to place: a natural spring beneath the rice fields, a river in all its grace; where two years ago I ran to, my mind then clear and bright, free from the confusion that now … More Day 56 in South East Asia – Ubud, You’re My Medicine

Day 54 in South East Asia – What A Perfect Day

August 8, 2017

Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; Today, all my prayers were answered and Karma and I reignited our passionate, if not slightly tumultuous relationship, firmly cementing it over cheap Bali Hai beers down by the beach and a delicious Indonesian meal. It was the start of a brand new week, it was time to put the past behind … More Day 54 in South East Asia – What A Perfect Day

Day 52 in South East Asia – Sunshine on a Rainy Day???

August 6, 2017

Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; Last night I was kept awake by the pitter patter of rain on Gusti’s roof (and by Serbia’s snoring). This morning I awoke to the pitter patter of rain on Gusti’s roof (Serbia was still snoring). And to my dismay, neither of them stopped. Now, I could’ve used the rain to my … More Day 52 in South East Asia – Sunshine on a Rainy Day???
