Another week of easy living and yoga in San Marcos – bliss! Since all the workshops last weekend I have been giving some thought to food this week, it’s something I haven’t spoken much about. Over the weeks here a routine of sorts has developed – the daily shop. Round the corner from where we are … More The Corner Shop
I had thought about moving north this week for some hiking, however my yoga love won out. So that’s what this week has been all about yoga. I have always enjoyed it but now I think I love it. Such a simple activity that can improve the mood of any day. And you hardly need … More Yoga Love
Hello again from San Marcos, I’m still here! It was beginning to niggle me that I’ve been in the one place so long while there are so many other parts of Guatemala I have yet to visit. Should I be on the move? Was I making the right decision to stay here? Then I realised, I … More Why so serious?
A change of pace. I have spent the better part of a week in San Marcos, one of the 13 villages at Lake Atitlán with the intention to stay a while longer.

The weather had other plans and there was no good wind so instead, mornings were for yoga and paddleboarding and the afternoons … More The simple life……..
The bus journey here proved a bit of a mission, inclusive of 2 hours walking around the the town of La Paz with pigeon spanish and dictionary looking for a bus stop. But I got here, La Ventana and woke up to this. I have just finished a great yoga class. No better way to … More Chilling out
Sunny California? Not the last few days at least. Even walking around town was difficult and limited to between the downpours. So I needed a new plan for San Diego. Plan B – food and yoga. Well if I was going to be indoors I may as well be enjoying myself. Now I have been … More Every cloud has a ………
I am writing this in the airport at Denpasar. My last few hours in Indonesia. I have spent the last week in Ubud and started to feel very at home, so much so that it was difficult to leave. Undoubtably there is an ‘Eat Pray Love’ thing happening there with lots of single women in … More What a difference a day makes
