notes for june
- Last week, I opened my last bottle of Pinot Gris that I bought in New Zealand in December. Every drop made me feel better about my lousy day, and made me long to be on the road again.
- I created a Tumblr for my travel photos because so many of my photos are just languishing in my various hard drives. For a start, I’m posting one photo of every country I’ve visited.
- Shortly after, I found Freunde Von Freunden’s travel section. Love it.
- After looking around all year, I found what could be the straw perfect hat via Tomboy Style (it’s actually palm leaf) for my trip.
- Another buy for the trip: A copy of Zoe Heller's "The Believers".
- Kinfolk’s latest issue poses the question: why haven’t I been to Japan?

I am sorry work has been rough of late...hope things get better soon. Your photographs make me excited to move out of Delhi - which I will do later this year. Not sure where yet, but the journey will be exhilarating regardless of the destination.
And yes, you should definitely visit Japan one day. Both the modern and traditional sides of the country are worth the sight!
Having a baby is quite a journey I imagine! In any case, we have our whole lifetimes to travel!
Petra: I will! I like Zoe Heller a lot as a writer, and find her kind of underrated (but so many women writers are underrated compared to the men)!
miss sophie: it has been so fun going through my old pictures and reliving them. I seemed to have misplaced one hard drive though, which is really sad because I've got all my India pictures in there. Hope I find it.
Sue: Thanks! Lautau Island is such an iconic place to me because it's in so many great HK movies hahaha. And it's really scenic in its own right.
Travelling with kids sounds like a real challenge, but I imagine it's so good for the child!
Maja H: I hope to go back to Krakow, I was only 3 days there, before I went to...I think I was headed to Estonia. It's so elegant but it's also got a cool, edgy vibe.
Ammu: Thanks! It feels very cathartic, for some reason. I like in a way it's nice to look back at how I saw places compared to how I remember them.
Big change! I can't wait to hear more about this when you have the time to share. Keep me posted :)
escritora: ! I wanted to go there last year when I was in Prague but couldn't make it...have always thought it was a shame I didn't spend more time there.
Kali: I agree, it's nice to have more than just a phone camera sometimes.
I will make it to Japan some day! No excuse when it's actually pretty nearby!
I've been feeling pure wanderlust, which I'm sure is a response to the intense demands of work. Luckily I have a few trips locked in on the horizon. I do hope that work eases for you and that you can enjoy your trip. Turkey is an amazing place!
Lindsay K: Thanks! Looking forward to any posts you might do on your future travels...I love travel posts of any kind.
Marlene: I looked through your old posts on Turkey for ideas, incidentally :)
