Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Today, dear readers, was my last day in Ubud, my last day in Bali, and the last official day of my travels in South East Asia and the end of an incredible 13 months away from home.

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

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 35 in South East Asia – Karma, You’re a Beautiful Bitch

Kampot and Kep and everywhere in between, Cambodia: They say bad luck comes in threes and that Karma plays a huge part in dishing out good and not so good things.

Day 34 in South East Asia – I Don’t Care What The Weatherman Says…
