Our body and mind are precious, yet so often throughout our days we forget that we even have a body. We become a floating head, a brain walking around on sticks of bone and muscle until we are eventually tired and irritated for “no good reason”. Posture and breathing So much of our life is [...]
What is hygge and why is it important? This Scandinavian word has become somewhat of a legendary myth in contemporary society, in connection to the often-fantasised collective of the “happiest countries in the world”. It’s a word that’s hot on trending scales yet seldom understood as being more than owning some nice furniture, cozy blankets [...]
Sweden was such a wonderful place to be for Christmas. The streets felt like they were singing as light flooded through from cozy houses onto the bustle of Stockholm's streets and markets. I had visited Stockholm once prior to this at the very beginning of winter. There was such a difference in seeing the city [...]
It's funny when you meet friends out of context. For all of my travels to Europe I have met people who have some element of the past in common. It is always strange to see them living in Europe and it also gives me a great deal of hope that if it makes sense to [...]
In September I spent a wonderful weekend away to visit friends at their home in Stockholm. My experience of Sweden so far has been only Stockholm and what a beautiful city this is! I felt so welcomed into a new culture and even under the September clouds it was so nice to walk around outside [...]

In August I moved to Copenhagen to study music and ever since arriving each day has [...]

The air is crisp, the salt heavy and the sound like no other. There is something ancient and steadfast about the land in Australia and [...]
Sometimes it's hard to appreciate your own city. This is a trap I often fall into, fantasising about how lovely a recent travel was, about how nice things are overseas, the culture, nature, people... then I remember that all of this exists at home just as much as it does overseas. Our eyes become used [...]
In 2016 I completely fell in love with this city - it sings a hum and rhythm that is like hundreds of tiny villages combined. The food is wonderful, the people are friendly and the nature is stunning. Last year, my friend and I had dreamed up an idea and in March 2017 I flew [...]
