It’s a lovely cool day in Bangkok today after a blistering hot few weeks. It’s 25 degrees celsius outside, lovely breezy winds and just heavenly. Perfect for reflecting and today thinking about my life journey these few years. Its been a little over five years since I lost my unhealthy me and 15kgs worth…

You realise how unfit and how old you are when after just one hour of snowboarding, you are still feeling the effects three days after. It’s a great wake up call that we need to exercise all parts of our body to be truly fit; work other parts of the body. Running three to four…

In the wee hours of this Sunday morning we had a summer storm. I woke up and lay in bed listening to the sounds of howling winds and raindrops pouring down on the roof and garden. I loved it. I love listening to sounds of rain, of course when I’m not stuck outside, and blissfully…

It’s December in Bangkok and although we don’t have snow and roughly ninety-five percent of the population is Buddhist, Christmas trees and holiday lights still fill centre city. I love this time of year when people think about gifts and giving. Where the focus shifts from ourselves towards others and we all breathe a little…
