Mostly I was busy snapping pictures, head in the clouds, wishing I could step into a bookstore and meet my personal…

London Lovin’: Windswept
Good morning London! My face is so not ready to see the world, but this face is so ready to brace the autumn winds hitting the streets today at 24km/h. I’ve heard that some flights leaving London were cancelled in lieu of bad weather. Ironically I’m hoping it stays this way! Have prepared a ready…

Cafe-hunting: Aroma Cafe Perth
The only downside to cafe-hunting overseas: I can’t drink more than a cup a day, or I’ll have to deal with serious sleep issues. Average service, average coffee… Great spot to chill in the CBD area, though. 3/800 Hay St Perth
