Heartwarming sunshine today, vibrating air and thin clouds on a blue sky. I sit outside in the garden, next to the hortensias, who surround me with their big bushy heads. As the wind caresses the blossoms of the lilac, they say yes with their flowers. I look up from my chair, with a book in […]

Koala climate change INphotography

I saw an image recently on television that just seized me inside. It was a little koala, crying. His face and paws were burned, he on the side of the road, just saved from a devastating bushfire. A victim of climate change. I saw many images of climate change before. People standing on the top […]

My journey to veganism

Three years ago I knew that something had to change. After leaving my corporate job earlier that year, I started to rethink a lot of things in my life. I went through a turbulent period as I got more and more insights on what needed to change. I suddenly realised that many things are weighing […]
