sometimes normality can be a little boring, especially if
you are like me and are on countdown until your next big adventure. every day
seems like a drag… the closer it gets – the days seem to drag. work used to be
fun and tolerable, but as the thought of sipping a cold pina colada on the sand
in tulum gets closer to being a reality, it is sometimes easier to tune out and
look at the exciting lives of others to get you through the day.
here i have detailed a few of my daily go-to’s and the
various reasons as to why they are applicable to me at the moment.
alex and taru are sailing around the globe on a gorgeous
yacht. i have been following their journey for the past two years and eagerly
watching their progress. while the
lovely duende (a 43' Halsey
Herreshoff) is currently moored in the usa for
the winter, this pair are on an enchanting journey that is hopefully not in the
too distant future for kurt and i. many of you are not aware that we have spent
the last two years renovating our house, which has most recently gone under
contract. yay for us! this is significant because we are in the process of
freeing up our lives, disposing of the materialistic assets that many believe make
the world go round and are heading off to see the world. our chosen mode of
transport will hopefully be a yacht. when we hit the usa in march our main
purpose will be looking to purchase a yacht with all the trimmings, ready for
us to set sail. world tour stories is written by taru who is able to make the
most mammoth of tasks, seem simple. keeping calm while sailing in 20-30 knot
winds, staying uber fit and bikini-clad as well as prepare some delightful cuisine
in a tiny kitchen. a challenge if i have ever seen one.
ah the lovely pippa. this melbourne born, new york based, amazing
website creator literally has a site that ticks all of my boxes. featured are delightful
recipes, must have bits of furniture, inspiring photography of travel
destinations and the likes, hints and tips on organisation and even a segment
called male monday, which is a q and a with a really artsy-creative type
(usually quite cute). this is a fantastic site to peruse while enjoying a gorgeous
pinot noir (or three) in hand on a lazy afternoon when you want to look through
those rose-coloured glasses at the pretty lives of others. eye candy!
to. die. for. mimi lives one of those idyllic lives. you
know the one every girl dreams of. to marry a romantic frenchman that’s an
amazingly talented photographer, get whisked away to live in the french
countryside in a way to cliché chateau, drink too much french wine and eat too
much fine french food all the while, staying amazingly thin. not to mention
that she is a mother, food blogger and keeper of 14 dogs. having lived all
around the world mimi creates amazing dishes and tells the story of why she
chose to cook that particular item. say for arguments-sake that she had been to
the local farmers markets and purchased a few crates of fresh strawberries,
then her recipes would be purely based on what is seasonal and locally sourced –
you get my drift. its gorgeous and i have tired come of the recipes and they
are just grand.
