Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – Traipsing around in the Silk Road city of Khiva; the epic centre of cross culture knowledge, wisdom, religion and trade has been a long held dream. Walking the historical stone roads and taking in the breathtaking blues, turquoise and white painted tiles have been mentally stimulating. The site of numerous sufi tombs are tranquil and peaceful similar to moments visiting with familiar ancestors long since past, perhaps in part because this assignment honours my grandparents.

Mexico (November, 2017) –  We spent a couple weeks traipsing around Oaxaca; the first week of our travels involved sporadic encounters with devils, beasts and catrina's from early dawn til past dusk. Being in Oaxaca for Dia de los Muertos was an experience of a lifetime.
