January 27, 2014

“There’s nothing like wandering around a city you’ve already left to define an internal change. It feels different. You feel different: defiant, bold, victorious.” – Londoners There’s always another hidden mews to discover, another unassuming pocket of beauty that you’ve passed hundreds of times before but never really saw.  This is London: a favorite book […]

Kauai: Land of Rain

December 11, 2012

It’s our last day in Kauai. It’s been a long, languid week of sea, sun and jungle rain. Time passes slowly here on this five million year old island, where it rains more than any other place on earth. People are friendlier, they smile more easily, they seem happier.  To live simply, in God’s Green […]
