"It is the evening that questions thus from within me." - Friedrich Nietzsche (at Vịnh Bái Tử Long)

"Wandering is the activity of the child, the passion of the genius; it is the discovery of the self, the discovery of the outside world, and the learning of how the self is both "at one with" and "separate from" the outside world. These discoveries are as fundamental to the soul as "learning to survive" is fundamental to the body. These discoveries are essential to realizing what it means to be human. To wander is to be alive." Roman Payne, Europa: Limited Time Edition. (at Gunung Bromo, Tengger - Probolinggo, Jawa Timur , Indonesia)

Each burden is unique. (at Bromo)

"It is easy to overlook this thought that life just is. As humans we are inclined to feel that life must have a point. We have plans and aspirations and desires. We want to take constant advantage of the intoxicating existence we've been endowed with. But what's life to a lichen? Yet its impulse to exist, to be , is every bit as strong as ours-arguably even stronger. If I were told that I had to spend decades being a furry growth on a rock in the woods, I believe I would lose the will to go on. Lichens don't. Like virtually all living things, they will suffer any hardship, endure any insult, for a moment's additions existence. Life, in short just wants to be." Bill Bryson, A short story of nearly everything (at Gunung Bromo, Java Indonesia)

I dreamt of the sea yesterday. A memorable moment where I learned the basic lesson of having a backup. My bearhead fell in the water by accident (it was either the bear or me) and had to be fished out quickly with an oar. I then spent some time bringing it back to life with a hairdryer 😑😂 my arms still hurt. I borrowed a hair straightener for the eyebrows as they looked like a blow dry which went wrong. (at I'm on A Boat - Halong Bay)

Started at the bottom, now we are here. 😉 (at Gunung Bromo, Java Indonesia)

I am a millennial with an old heart. I have been using this watch for nearly two decades. It was a birthday present but my wrist was too small to be wearing it at the time. We became inseparable as I grew up. The book was a find in an antique bookshop in the south of England. It is a compilation of quotes and was published in the 19th century. Together we have been to many places and looking forward to some African sun soon. Have a good weekend everyone 🙋🏻

I am not a demanding bear. All I want is to have clouds a little more up close and personal 🐻 (at Gunung Bromo)

One of my favourite things is to be higher than the clouds. Hope your day is brighter than mine 🙂 (at Gunung Bromo, Java Indonesia)
