My Digital Junk Journal 🌎💫

The last time I went to the Calgary Stampede I cam

The last time I went to the Calgary Stampede I came second in a Pog Championship...suffice to say that was a long long time ago 🤠 so this truly felt like it was indeed my first rodeo 🐴 🐮

Our first full day in Ireland was one of those mag

Our first full day in Ireland was one of those magic moments I'll never forget. When you're grieving it's amazing how some places feel like a warm hug which welcomes you home. Swaddled in green forest, contemplative sights and beaches with waves feel like a soothing nursery rhyme 🌊💙

These hot and humid days have me longing for the s

These hot and humid days have me longing for the surf and sand of Sitges, a place that still feels like a dream 🌊☀️

I've been quietly loving my transition to digital

I've been quietly loving my transition to digital journaling/scrapbooking. I have dozens of huge physical scrapbooks lining my shelves, but recently I've also been spending my free time just playing around and having creative fun making these digital scrapbooks. While I love a physical junk journaling Sunday afternoons, it's sometimes nice not to have to dig out all my supplies and yet still be able to play around with creative ways to document my travels ❤️ and felt like sharing 🥰

All the action around the Coronation 👑 this weeken

All the action around the Coronation 👑 this weekend has me missing London. There was nothing like spending such a long stay in one city. Having the time, space and energy to allow myself just to get lost and explore without a thought, plan or itinerary 💭

Lingering memories living in my mind. Eagerly awai

Lingering memories living in my mind. Eagerly awaiting the next adventure ❤️ Arles was one of my favourite cities in Provence and I cannot wait to be returning in less than a month 🤩

Jacarandas really are the perfect Eastery flower 💜

Jacarandas really are the perfect Eastery flower 💜The Jacaranda trees you see all over are a tale of my two favourite cities, Tokyo and CDMX. 🇯🇵❤️🇲🇽 The trees were brought to the city by Tatsugoro Matsumoto, an imperial gardener from Tokyo. 🪴He came to Mexico City to oversee the design of the forest and gardens at the historic Chapultepec Castle. 🌳🏰🌳After gaining much fame and popularity, Mexican President Álvaro Obregón asked him to plant blossoming trees in the main avenues of Mexico City. Cherry Blossoms 🌸 were his first choice but the high altitude and weather in Mexico City didn't suit the sensitive blossom. So he chose the beautiful Jacaranda tree, originally from Brazil. The trees absolutely transform the city during Springtime. If you really want to see how strong the colour is try looking on google maps and you can actually see the brilliant purple blossoms even from the sky. ☁️Matsumoto never returned to Japan as he had fallen in love with Mexico City. ❤️❤️ And who came blame him? #jacarandaseason #CDMX #mexicocity #MexicoCityJacarandas

Every time I go to Mexico City I come with a check

Every time I go to Mexico City I come with a checklist of things I still have yet to see and do. And no matter how many items I tick off the list, I still manage to come home with a new list twice as long. 📓I always get to chatting with locals who tell me about more and more incredible places I just have to see. On this trip, I finally made it out to see the UNAM campus to see the mesmerizing central library designed by the illustrious architect and painter Juan O'Gorman. 📚The library's mural is designed like a codex, filled with symbolic imagery to decipher. I could have sat there for hours just looking at it. 🧿We arrived on graduation day for some of the students. The ceremony had just finished but many graduates were still milling around with their gowns on, taking pictures, smiles brimming across their faces. It was such a joyful visit and one of the most incredible campuses' I've ever seen. Made even more beautiful by the blooming jacaranda trees. 💜Definitely worth the drive!#CDMX #MexicoCity #mexicocityarchitecture #jacarandascdmx
