Good morning everyone!
As Summer draws top a close in Europe, the wet season is creeping closer to a close. It's not to say that we're not still getting downpours (Universally timed for when I'm out on a bike ride). However, our booming thunder and strobe lightning are gradually fading away. My time in Temple Town is taking on leaps and bounds.
It's been a while (well, since I cracked that bone in my leg last year) since I've been in an environment that has allowed me to unleash my best self. I've been confident but overran with laziness, or lack of motivation, or deprivation for the urge to social. Being the social human you all know me to be, that's a real change.
I usually thrive in high-intensity environments (see my eight-month stint on that cruise ship or my contract in Tenerife as a hotel animator and scooter-riding-pirate) and for the most part, the past eighteen months or so have been....well...not high intensity, slow, and quite...boring. Arriving at Siem Reap and having a new city to call home is the strike of inspiration I've needed to take myself to the next level of whatever it is that I need next.
Right now it's a great time to find the balance between my health, socialising, keeping fit, finding an output for some backed up creative energy. I've been going to art classes, made a bunch of new mates, cycle 50km every day, teaching myself to draw, I'm starting to play Ultimate Frizbee, writing a shit-tonne...and been drinking 4L of water a day. Adulting, achieved.
So that's my latest little update. Might write about some funny stories coming up soon. Currently phoneless, alas, no photos at all. But you can just imagine me in full freckled glory, beaming at the camera!
