”Hi, I’m Alexia,” she says and shakes my hand. She has just gotten out of the shower and is wearing nothing but a towel. “My name is Kirstine,” I reply. “Oh, where in England are you from?” “Ehm... I’m from Denmark...” I can’t always control what I sound ... Read more >

An old man opened the door. He looked at me clueless. "Please, I will work for food." It was late July. My wallet ran out of cash. Winter cold is biting my flesh and into my bones. My first winter. My first independent expedition. My first time being ... Read more >

One moment I was on top of the world, speeding down the hill on some rickety hire skis with a smile as wide as the run. Three seconds and a side-of-the-hill baby jump later and my glorious childhood memory would be forever tainted by a near-death experience.... Read more >

Roving past the ‘Bombay Hills’ was an indulgence in reminiscence; not only because it reminded me of my city’s name but because the farms smelled like Punjab. As we zoned into the Waikaretu region I clung to the window’s view. The realm of countryside ... Read more >

We drive along this road all the time. But we usually stop here. This time, we’re going to keep going. For many more kilometres on end! The wind hits me hard as I wind the window down, my hair flies all over the place and I don’t even care. The rush of ... Read more >
