I love

................

... the velvety taste of a dirty chai with oat milk. Sun-kissed mangoes. Old magazines. Mandalas. Wood-fires. The smell of jasmine. A good old storm.

... travel. I criss-crossed the canals of Venice in a gondola, received a blessing at the purifying waters of Tirta Empul in Bali, got married in Italy, got lost in Paris, met a tiger in the lush jungles of India, witnessed one of the impossibly beautiful sunsets of Santorini, rode a camel in the wild desert of Morocco, and went on more African safaris than I can count.
