wow it’s been a while since the last email back in April. As you know, I’m not really a slacker (lazy) and to update, I actually have 20 photo collages. Stuff from france, spain, portugal, prague, budapest, portugal, croatia, thailand, wales, glastonbury music festival..

It’s been an amazing few months, yeah :) Not much sleep, a lot of walking, a lot of buses, flights, trains etc

I am now in Sydney, the end of travelling for now. A little relieved – but some lovely people have asked me to come travelling with them – yeah! I will…when I get an income.. :p New Zealand sounds great, so fingers crossed..

I have so many amazing memories everytime I look at the photos. So happy that I went out there and did it, after all you only get one life :)

So here is the first collage since the last one I sent in April. A group of people that I train with went to Evry, France for a weekend with the Yamakasi. It was a great weekend (if you like sweat and pain) but also a lot of playing. There were scaffolding set up everywhere and the whole town was behind the event 300%. There were people from France, US, England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Italy, Finland..and a group of girls from London! I spent a little time in Paris, it was nice to be back there again.

Most fun I’ve had for a while..

I found Madrid to be more interesting than Porto – it had that mix of history and modernity. Because I understand a lot of people get bored by churches, palaces, galleries and museums, I’m listing the places I went to here:

Royal Palace & gardens
Puerta de Alcalá
Parque de Retiro
Museo Naciona del Prado
Caixa Forum (by Herzog & de Meuron)

In summary – I liked it, I had fun :)

Took the night bus from Madrid to San Sebastian – woke up on my birthday on the beach! Was so happy. San Sebastian is a gorgeous seaside town but also with city walls that date back to 800BC. Just cruisy, walked to the top of the hill with fort and the giant Jesus, sat on the beach..

Took the bus to the Guggenheim, Bilbao. Amazing building, really good exhibits – loved the one by Richard Serra & Jeff Koons. I’ve been a huge fan of Richard Serra for years, his works are these huge pieces of treated metal that compress and expand space as you walk through them.

Went back to London, really tired but happy :)

ps: will send the rest of the collages..some other time :p
