Got cornered, and this was the least awkward smile I just about managed to muster 🙈 ⠀

Great food, great place, great people; herbivore or not. Highly recommend the lemon + poppy seed cake. I promise it’s good, even if you’re sceptical about vegan bakes 🌟⠀

From the outside looking in, imagining the stories being told. ⠀

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 🎵 ⠀

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.⠀

These layers upon layers of rocks are so stunning and inconceivably ancient that I don’t think I’ll ever stop being fascinated by them. ⠀

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. ⠀

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. ⠀
