There's something about moving through unfamiliar spaces, and navigating cultural differences that resets your capacity to experience life anew. That's what I want to illustrate in this blog post.
And it's been quite a year! It started with us leaving St Petersburg and going back to Rio de Janeiro via Ukraine. We spent our last few months in Brazil visiting Niterói, Ilha Grande, Iguaçu Falls. By way of various points of call in the UK, Lebanon, and Ukraine, we finally settled down in London for a new start in 2018.
