One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
ended up riding on a moto in monsoon to a dodgy Cambodian hospital after munching my way through days of streetfood (banana pancakes) only to repeat my street food experimentation the moment I set foot out of the hospital, and deciding i was from then on immune (2012)
had a lovely squat in a field by the highway at 6am with a few dozen men staring on, during a break on a bus from rajasthan desert to Delhi, All this after having not slept in a bed since 6 days. What a wonderful farewell, India.
road tripped in a mini van with my partner and our two dogs in 2018 from Berlin to Portugal and back over summer, learning from new friends and different farms along the way / practicing yoga with the most amazing teacher (@yogawithkrista) and coming home to build a wonderful share house and garden with creative, gentle, giving witches.
