  • Postcard: Dubrovnik, Croatia 
Location: @kopundbk 

Back from a wonderful culinary tour led by the one and only @croatian_wine_guy as a guest of @experiencedubrovnik while in town working on a new project.

While I sort through photos and notes for an upcoming post, I wanted to share this particular capture since I’m usually behind the camera. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen myself laugh this way. 

Good food, great company, and gratitude that I get to do this. To share stories through words and images.

Thank you Bozidar for the photo 🙏🏽

  • What an incredible evening and absolute privilege to witness the legendary @muholizanele receive the prestigious Hasselblad Award bestowed by @hasselbladfoundation with its patron HRH Crown Prince Daniel doing the honour 🌟🖤

What was especially moving was when their crew and family from @muholiart_institute burst into songs of praise and gratitude. Absolutely beautiful reminder of the richness and depth of African culture, in this case, South African 🇿🇦 

Congratulations once again and a beautiful testament to living your truth, always showing up authentically, and following your own path 🖤

  • Dragging in a deep breath to anchor me, I dip my right foot in, slowly sliding down before drawing my other leg into the tub. The sensation is instant. Tiny sharp pricks racing across my skin as my body tries to regulate and protect itselt from the jarring shift in temperature.
I close my eyes, a palm over my heart, focusing on my breaths under the expert guidance of Dr.
Rob Williams, PhD (known as ”The Breath
Doctor”) - @drrobwilliams 

Two minutes in an ice-cold plunge bath, steadying my breathing, reminded me that in a fast-paced dizzying world, I already hold power in stillness.

What an incredible evening and absolute privilege to witness the legendary @muholizanele receive the prestigious Hasselblad Award bestowed by @hasselbladfoundation with its patron HRH Crown Prince Daniel doing the honour 🌟🖤

What was especially moving was when their crew and family from @muholiart_institute burst into songs of praise and gratitude. Absolutely beautiful reminder of the richness and depth of African culture, in this case, South African 🇿🇦 

Congratulations once again and a beautiful testament to living your truth, always showing up authentically, and following your own path 🖤
