My days in the countryside remind me of being out in the world travelling - getting up early, going for long strolls on the beach, running... with fresh country air filling my lungs. I went on a bike ride today and had the roads to myself which felt strange - as if the world around me was burning and everyone stayed home to watch it being televised. Not far from the truth mind you but sticking to positives - nature can really be beautiful! Back in Bali earlier in the year - this was the sunset view of the rice terraces of Ubud from our hotel room.

Stay strong, New York City. The storm shall pass but it will be a rough one. My thoughts go out to all New Yorkers in these tough times - and to the rest of the world, suffering as we are because we have yet to learn how to treat animals properly. China may have outlawed illegal animal markets but is it enough? Moreso, there are many other countries around the world where sanitary conditions at food markets are not up to scratch and where animals not fit for human comsuption are still being eaten. Why are we trading with countries where these things happen? It's not good enough and we should pressure governments to think about the livelihoods of animals and of the planet. At what point do we realise just how important having a strong opinion towards these things is?

The incarnate definition of a slow Sunday - somewhere in the Cretan mountains with my brothers @mischanielsen & @ebdkfox - we stumbled on this village. Later that day, we wound up in another village - Zoniana, where we spent the night partying with some very hospitable, generous locals- but something seemed off. When we came to and drove back to our base the next day, we discovered that Zoniana is a place most locals and tourists condistently avoid on account of it being ground zero for Cretan drug lords. I'm glad we found this out after we'd spent the night there, though truth be told, there was a point after a good few rakis that we all realised that we were in the company of barons - and not of the "noble" sort. Anyhow, we can only judge people by what we know and experience - we were received as guests and treated impecably and like many adventures with my brothers - all ended well. I am thrilled to have had so many good times together - to have travelled as much as we have and to have learned so much about ourselves and the world. In times such as these, looking back and being positive about the things we can be positive about counts for a lot.

Parallel worlds can sometimes look very similar. Top: Hjørring - on the Danish West coast. Bottom: Balangan Beach, South Bali, Indonesia. Glad to have experienced both.
