Photo-Blog Day 14 – Vienna

For all my life I have wanted nothing more than a calm course of existence; having a home that is inviting, work that is intellectual, travel that is invigorating and then, on top of all that, you, to anchor my sense of belonging in this world. – Vienna

Photo-Blog Day 13 – Budapest

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains. This is one of my all time favourite quotes (Jean-Jacques Rousseau), and over time the wisdom of it has begun to percolate. It is travelling which has taught me to unchain myself, to not only taste freedom, but to savour it. – Budapest

There is arguably no feeling which trumps the awestruck moment of seeing something for the first time. I like the “first time” halo; the sensory overload which follows is living proof that every effort preceding it is worth my while. – Venice

Photo-Blog Day Six – Florence

Photo-Blog Day Three – Rome

Travelling is a privilege, not a right. As time wore on in this journey I realised how truly privileged I am. Privileged to see such greatness, and equally as humbled.  – Rome
