En Esperando: The Search for Ayahuasca

I’m not going to tell you what I saw when I took Ayahuasca. Alien spirits, impossible geometric realms or, most significant of all, a giant snake, slithering towards you. While in their proper context, such descriptions can be illuminating, for the most part, I think they risk being distractions. Psychedelic fodder to fuel the desire […]

Neverending Photos!

Alright, so I’ve been lazy while I’ve been here in Barcelona and haven’t written anything for the blog. No, not lazy, busy. Very busy. Anyway, I still have a huge backlog of photos, so I can always stall with them! Here are the happy snaps from my tour into the Salar de Uyuni – Bolivia’s […]

Salt in the Clear Sky: Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

The night I left Sucre it poured down with rain. I was having trouble with my bank cards and, as silent lightning flashed in the distance, was trying every machine in the Plaza 25 de Mayo. The main square of government, 25 de Mayo hosted the House of Liberty, where Bolivia’s declaration of independence […]

Mountain Pose: Yoga Teacher Training

Yoga had floated around the periphery of my life for a while. I can remember taking classes at Australian music festivals after nights of partying. For post-session recovery, there’s nothing better. My first regular practice came when I moved back home in 2016, when I would go to the suburban studio with mum. Travelling later […]

Even More Photos!

Samaipata Connection

Charly and I played four games of chess at El Jardin. He would taunt me in English when he was winning and mutter to himself in French when he was not. The second game took place on the night Aye left Samaipata. She and Charly had been carrying out a little romance during her month of […]

I’ve finally gotten round to uploading a few photos from the journey so far. Check them out here: July 2018: From Santiago to Cusco More to come soon!

Rainbow Report #5: Back to Babylon

For two weeks in September, I attended a Rainbow Gathering in Bolivia. In this, my final report, I describe my departure from the gathering and return to civilization. For the other reports, look here: #1, #2, #3, #4. — My last night at the gathering found me in the kitchen, preparing dinner. I had hoped […]

Rainbow Report #4: A Day at the Rainbow

For two weeks in September, I attended a Rainbow Gathering in Bolivia. In this report, I compile excerpts from the diary I was keeping while I was there to give a snapshot of daily life. Find my other reports here: #1, #2, #3, #5 — A Morning ‘I woke, as usual, to the sound of Venecia, the […]
