A psychic I saw in 2016 once told me this: "You will travel the world like a nomad - far, wide and greatly. But the cards say to be careful, for at times you will use travel to run away - don't do this." Coincidentally, another psych sign came one month ago when I was…
A Fugitive in Budapest
Anecdotes of Italy
Growing up in the suburbs, I lived next door to an elderly Italian couple from Sicily called Serge and Bianca. For twenty-one years they became my makeshift nonna and nonno; teaching me swear words over tea, showing me film strips of their youth and disclosing secret cannoli recipes. A foreigner among friends, I became obsessed…
Viva Las Vegas.
This is a city for giants, furnished with grandeur and excess. A labyrinth of fame and fortune, Viva Las Vegas.
Life on Film | Vol 3
Time is going too fast - it frightens me. Years are lived in a week, a week becomes a day, and 24 hours is now a second. Blink, and weβre halfway through the year. Like a speed of light, projected as a void in outer-space, time has, and always will be, an uncatchable and uncontrollable…
Bristol Bound
βWhy do you love Bristol?β I ask my British friends. Beth (my Northerner roommate) replies βItβs a great drunk night out, and I guess the people are lovely too.β Isabelle (a friend from work) sings βOh, itβs steeped in history, has a great and proud culture, and itβs very liberal!β. And Lou (my local barista), simply looks at me and says, βTwo words, darling: gert lushβ.

Scenery and stories, traditions and tales, people and pinnacles. Welcome to the Scottish Highlands.
Life on Film | Vol 2
By lens and by line, this is life on film. March: a season of new beginnings and a time for change. Our coats get lighter, the bluebells blossom and the sky stays bright past 4pm. The seasons are rotating, and so are our moods. We're shyly, but surely, claiming back the day and savouring each…
The Pursuit of Portugal
This is what I know to be true. Portugal is the oldest country in Europe, Pastel de Nata's are humankind's greatest invention, sunsets by the sea can truly soothe the soul and 2pm is a great time to get drunk by yourself in a port cellar. A sweet sunshine escape, an expedition of one's own,…
Life on Film | Vol 1
Ilford XP2, 27 shot-exposure in B&W film. Β£8.99 from Boots. 'You're probably the only person I know who would still buy something like that.' says my work colleague as we spend our lunch wandering around the Kew Retail Park. 'Maybe. But there is something cool about blindly shooting a moment, forgetting about it, and then…
Siesta and Fiesta’s in Barcelona
"Who would have thought? You, me, Bella and Barcelona in the winter of 2019. Who would have thought?" The three of us are nestled into the back of a taxi, en route from El Prat Airport Terminal 2 to PlaΓ§a de Catalunya. We're driving northeast, parallel to the Mediterranean Sea coastline. It's a Friday afternoon, circa 1…
