CBD Oil for Anxiety: my Experience

20th August 2020

I’ve been a big fan of the health benefits of CBD oil for over a year now.

Ibiza, Party Paradise or Vegan Yogi Heaven?

7th March 2019

Holiday destinations acquire stereotypes, just like the travelers who go there become known for their nationalities… and the stereotypes that go with those. There are also the standard things you do in every destination. You go to India to do a Yoga teacher training, to Iceland to see the Blue Lagoon, to Turkey to go to a Hamman and get butt naked… you get the idea.

Making a Home: my Leesa Bed Review (Advertisement)

31st August 2018

Let’s start this Leesa bed review by stating what’s obvious. I’ve been growing roots in Berlin over the past three years. To a point where I’m now ready to call this damn gorgeous crazy impossible city my home. There once was a time when the thought of having all my belongings fit on the back of my bicycle was reassuring — that way I could push the eject button and ghost at any opportunity.
