"In order to find yourself you must first be lost"

Not an ancient Chinese proverb, but something that came to me after an evening spent with our long standing and loyal friends Ernest & Julio. (God I'm gonna miss those guys!)

So somewhere in between the rainforests of Costa Rica to the crazy streets of Bangkok, from the sardine tin packed trains of India to the deserts of Africa I shall endeavor to get as "lost" as I possibly can. With the hope that somewhere along the line I may bump into myself.

So here's to ripping up the map of life and getting lost

Love to you all xx

ps, if anyone comes into money and would like to pay off my debts so that I don't have to come back, it's ok to do so...honest
