Thought

Daydreaming about driving across this wide brown land

I’m bewitched by the idea of driving around Australia.

From striking coastline, to windblown deserts. From mountain country to tropical rainforests. With the most ancient manmade structures on earth and the longest history of people inhabiting it. The open road is calling.

I think that’s why I’m equally obsessed with Tiny Houses Australia. The idea of hitting the road, with all of the luxuries of home attached by a tow-bar and little else. Can it get any better than that?

The drawback is that perhaps my little beep beep Barina lacks the might for towing.

If I were on the open road right now, I think a solution to this little dilemma might just come to me. For now, I’m going to keep on dreaming.

Every beginning should start with good intentions

Every beginning should start with good intentions. Goodness is what all things need. For this new beginning -- the start of my blog -- I thought it should begin with one of my favourite photos. This was captured at the beginning of the year on a rainy day walking a street in Delhi, India. It marked the occasion when India well and truly captivated my soul. And it was good!
