Growing up, David Bowie is one artist I took for granted and never really explored. I’d hear his music on the radio and at home, I knew the songs and many of the lyrics. But much like Pink Floyd and The Beatles, his music was my parents’ music. I knew it, I enjoyed it, but … Continue reading
I don’t even want to tell you when I visited The Shard, so instead I’ll say this post is long-overdue. Lucky for me, this content is evergreen. Phew.

This show is very inspiring and sentimental; just like flipping through a diary and learning all the secrets. Here the pages are … Continue reading
Silvia and I celebrated graduating from City University with our MA’s in international journalism (both with Merit, thank you very much!) with our parents at Vilandry in West London.
