Before I left Australia my mum told me about this place called Ubud where musicians and writers hang out to be inspired, create and relax. Away from the party culture of tourists and muppets travelling to Bali. As usual mother's know best and she wasn't wrong. Ubud is an incredible place to visit, buzzing with …
I lived in a van for a month and it was a strange feeling being homeless but at home. I was exactly where I wanted to be, minimalistic living and in nature. Here is the first video of the experience, just click the highlighted writing and enjoy the first part. Atomic Sunflowers - Van Life
What we do in life echoes in eternity. I rushed back to my little cabin to find the window smashed and curtains dancing in the midnight air and florescent light. I immediately sprung into action, frantically opening the lock and ripping the door open to find my possessions scattered across the room. A quick search …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucA0iT7LwhU I'm sitting here in Canggu, Bali. It's 31°c with a cool breeze and nature is breathing around me. I can hear construction in the distance, scooters going faster than they should and chickens crowing. I'm at a place called The Farm, yes the farm. It makes me giggle because I grew up on a …
I went to bed really early last night because I was so tired from the weekend, my legs hurt from horse riding and there are blisters on both my ring fingers. I got a good sleep until about 3:30-4am when people including Caitlan came home from clubbing and some fucking wanker was shaking the walls …

I was reluctant to do it because I don't think it is a very good trait to have as a person but then I reasoned with myself because I may never be …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4h9tcFQloI Today we did a tour down to the Cliffs of Moher and the view was spectacular. It was so windy up there though that the wind would almost blow us away! We were very tired because we had stayed up late last night talking to our new roommate Gerard and Damien who were from …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv6YLn0LI3M We brought in the New Year at the Hoggamany Festival in Edinburgh. It was amazing, we did a tour of the highlands with a Scottish man called Scott! I'm not even kidding.. He told tales of the history while talking over Scottish music. The countryside of Scotland is absolutely beautiful and I saw snow …
I'm finally on the road with Caitlan. We are staying at a hostel right near London Bridge in such a nice area. London is so clean compared to Paris, it's so much better! The weather has been cold and rainy here though, I love this weather but Caitlan is …

So today I decided to check out the Bercy Gardens, which are 3 gardens built together in Paris and they were really pretty but it was a gloomy day and most plants laid dormant because of the winter. But there were still birds in the trees, ducks in the pond and green grass throughout the …
