“If you live for people’s acceptance, you will die from their rejection” – Lecrae Tonight I got home from work and ordered in food. Once it arrived, I was prompted immediately to rate the driver on the delivery and the restaurant on the quality of the food.

“It’s funny how complete strangers can have familiar souls” – ? I have always loved places that emit a feeling of magic. A carousel at night time, a circus tent being set up, fairy floss lining the sides of a roller coaster ride, a fortune teller in an old caravan. The modern world lacks magic, we’re too focused on science, automation, data and fact. Creativity … Continue reading Cuba

“There are people who would love to have your bad days.” – unknown Today I really struggled with a few things, things that I can’t write about in detail publicly. By the end of the day I felt pretty defeated and questioning some things. As per the quote, there very well be people who would love to have my today. I know this is completely … Continue reading Grateful
“Food brings people together on many different levels. It’s nourishment of the soul and body; it’s truely love.” – Giada De Laurentiis One of my favourite things about travel is the opportunity to experience other cultures and something I find about most, if not all, is the significance of food in culture. That special dish that is always served as part of a holiday or … Continue reading Interlude (rushed blog post): Laklak
