With my Six Months South Journey over and a new phase of life beginning, I’m relaunching my blog… Welcome to Parchment Road! Hopefully, with a less time-restrictive title, I will be using this site for years to come, to document and comment on all those gems in the story of life that catch my eye. […]

I’m sitting in the departure hall of Terminal 3 at Heathrow. In exactly 24 hours, I will be touching down at Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne. After almost eight months, I am coming home. So, to mark the end of this particular journey, I’m going to do something a little different. I’m going to tell you all […]

I suspect that I’m addicted to music (along with all the other things).

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 […]
