i haven’t been to too many places in the world but i think that byron may very well be on of my favourites. marked by jonson street – a retro old fashion main drag – and a style that has a bohemian-surfer influence, the town i populated with expats, backpackers, aussie surfers and people who called this nook home for their…

ballina to byron.
Touching down. Within five minutes of arriving in Ballina I was questioning why I ditched a seven hour bus ride to Port Macquierie for the convenience of a detour through a small old town on dumpy water (albeit I’m spoiled by the sight of the clear blue along the golden beaches at this point.) However, after wondering…
one month anniversary.
Amazing to think that one month ago today I arrived in Melbourne. Tepid and excited, scared and nervous I was ready to begin my adventure. Utterly clueless and with no plan, I have absorbed the transition with ease and comfort all due to my host friend who has made this place feel like home. My days have…
leaving sydney.
My last day in Sydney and a great one at that. Exhausted by a full eight intense days of sightseeing and exploring it was time to crash at the beach. I know, as ridiculous as it sounds, I had been to four different beaches throughout the week and had only been swimming once! After an…
vintage markets.
A brilliant way to spend a Saturday – a warm Autumn day (yes, Autumn in April) purusing vintage classics and antique treasures at some of Sydney’s finest markets: Fringe market. A usual hotspot for dancing the bar fills up for the day with vendors that spend their time giving cutomers designers collection that you oculd only find…
ah crap.
In the midst of my travels, my mind wonders back to that of a boy. It’s a sign that my feelings are real when I begin to question myself, becoming ridiculously insecure. Unwinding, coming undone. I nearly forgotten what these feelings felt like. The insecurity – why would someone like him like me? I’m not…
“love me”.
Took in an amazing photography exhibt today that is worth writing about. “Love Me” by Zed Nelson. ‘A collection of images documenting how far people will go for the quest for physical perfection. The series reflects a world we have created where enormous social, psychological and economic rewards and penalties are attached to the way…
sydney by night.
Another day of adventuring: -Oxford St., Darlinghurst -Chinatown Night Market -Darling Harbour, Pyrmont Synopsis of today’s travels: After a chilled out day in Maroubra adjusting plans for the second leg of my north of Sydney trip, I was looking forward to a night out in Sydney. Just me and the city. And is this metropolis…
from coogee to bondi to a starry night.
A ‘full on’ day as the Aussies would say: Coogee Beach, Bronte, Bondi Beach, kindered spirits, Glebe Village, Newtown and a night in the stars. Bondi Beach – Bondi is Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”. Its on Australia’s national heritage list and was the host beach for the 2000 Olympic Games. Bondi Icebergs…
hello. from japan.
And then a phone call from Japan at midnight gives a calming sense to the stress of feeling lonely. GS, one of the dearest people I’ve ever met indeed. It’s good to know that no matter where in the world you are, someone you admire greatly is thinking about you in return.
static confusion.
