A few days ago, I shared my impressions from Estepona’s old town. I love how bright and colourful it is…

I promise it’s good, even if you’re sceptical about vegan bakes 🌟⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #stemandglory #cambridgeuk #foodstagram #hipstercafe #veganfood #britishsnaps #vegancafe #liveauthentic #verilymoment #instafood #flashesofdelight #healthierliving #fooddiary #momentsofmine #theartofslowliving #passionfood #veganbaking #foodstyle #d750 #dessert #fruitcakes #simpleliving #brightside #theeverygirl #peoplescreative #photosinbetween

Instagram post 2240754187065587638_2902509310 Recently, I resumed the arduous task of sorting through my photos (will I ever finish?!) and found that some of my greatest joys of street photography stem from listening to buskers share their craft 🎵 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #streetmusician #buskers #joyspotting #stillswithstories #daysofsmallthings #d750 #capturingbritain #reclaimthehappy #tinytinymoments #thatvelvetfeeling #discoverengland #iamatraveller #asecondofwhimsey #britishsnaps #daysofsmallthings
Instagram post 2194362593223666960_2902509310 More pillows than I knew what to do with but not quite enough to build a fort, and I wasn’t gonna have a pillow fight with myself. Hah. Either way, it was pretty cozy and cheery, and my stay here was quite homely ☀️⠀ ⠀ And to those who wondered what kind of precautions I take when travelling alone but still booking on AirBnB, I avoid male hosts when I can… I mean, I’m sure most are lovely but if I’m gonna need the host to drop in to resolve something, I’d much rather face a woman myself. Just one of those things that makes me feel more at ease.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #airbnbhomes #solotravels #uohome #mylifeinpictures #sharemoments #petitejoys #adelaide #liveunscripted #southaustralia #hyggelig #searchwandercollect #pathport #thesimpleeveryday #brimfulofcurious #moodcollectors #calmversation

Instagram post 2191568324008168803_2902509310 I think we all search for something greater than ourselves — dreams, goals, a life’s purpose or something of that sort. For me, it’s always been answers to questions I sometimes can’t even fully formulate, and so I run and wrestle with myself. I’m thankful that this year, I’ve had the privilege to do all that while chasing Jacarandas from the coasts of Spain to Australia. While I’ll probably never be done searching, I did gain more clarity and my heart is overflowing especially from the hospitality, kindness and love, as well as wonders I encountered on this trip. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #jacaranda #southaustralia #adelaide #athomeintheworld #discoveraustralia #gowildandslow #beautyaroundus #stillswithstories #appreciatethebeauty #d750 #chasingwonders #brimfulofcurious #facadelovers
Instagram post 2181317190412786179_2902509310 According to my friend who grew up in Australia, this is the first wild echidna they’ve ever come across alive. The rest were all roadkill 🙁 No wonder though, it’s so tiny and kept trying to climb back onto the highway. At least we managed to direct it away towards the fields, so hopefully this one’ll will live to burrow its face into many more anthills. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #echidna #wildlifeofaustralia #secondvalley #athomeintheworld #discoveraustralia #southaustralia #gowildandslow #beautyaroundus #stillswithstories #wondersofnature #appreciatethebeauty #d750 #chasingwonders #brimfulofcurious
