humanity
If nothing else, travel opens your eyes to the colorful quilt that is humankind.
" I don't have enough money"
The little island off the coast of the Caribbean known as Haiti, is easily a place where foreigners would call this “The land of purgatory.” An experience that I had the opportunity to embark on at a time when it was considered “safe” to travel there.

Parallel universe
Title: Echoes of Existence In the bustling city of Metropolis, where towering skyscrapers kissed the sky and neon lights painted the streets, lived Alex, a young and ambitious architect. His dreams soared higher than the tallest buildings he designed, driven by a relentless passion for his craft. One ordinary evening, as Alex made his way home through the labyrinth of streets, he stumbled upon an alley veiled in an eerie mist. Intrigued, he ventured deeper, his curiosity outweighing any sense of caution. At the end of the alley, he encountered a peculiar sight—a shimmering portal crackling with energy. Without hesitation, Alex stepped through, only to find himself in a world both familiar and alien. Metropolis stood before him, but it was a darker, more dystopian version of the city he knew. Skyscrapers loomed like monoliths of oppression, and the once vibrant streets now whispered tales of despair. As he navigated this grim reality, Alex came face to face with an unexpected sight—himself. But this version of Alex was hardened by the harshness of his world, his once bright eyes dulled by the weight of survival. Their encounter sparked a journey of self-discovery as they grappled with the notion of parallel existence. They shared stories of their lives, their dreams, and their regrets. Each revelation echoed the other's experiences, highlighting the subtle differences that shaped their divergent paths. Together, they embarked on a mission to unravel the mysteries of their intertwined fates. They traversed the fractured landscapes of parallel universes, encountering alternate versions of themselves and their world with each step. Through their journey, Alex gained a newfound perspective on life, realizing that every choice, every action, held the power to shape one's destiny. He learned to embrace the uncertainties of existence, finding solace in the interconnectedness of all things. As they bid farewell to each other, knowing they could never truly meet again, Alex returned to his own world, forever changed by the echoes of his parallel existence. With a renewed sense of purpose, he embraced the endless possibilities that lay before him, knowing that somewhere, in another universe, another version of himself was doing the same.In the conclusion of "Echoes of Existence," Alex emerges from the portal, back into the familiar streets of his own Metropolis. Though physically unchanged, he carries with him the weight of his journey through parallel universes. Returning to his daily life, Alex finds himself viewing the world through new eyes. Every building he designs, every person he meets, carries the potential for infinite variations, reflecting the vastness of existence itself. He finds beauty in the diversity of experiences, knowing that somewhere, in another reality, a different version of himself is living out a different story. With this newfound perspective, Alex embraces life with a sense of wonder and gratitude. He cherishes each moment, knowing that the threads of fate intertwine in ways beyond comprehension. Every decision he makes is infused with the knowledge that it echoes across the vast tapestry of existence, shaping the destinies of countless versions of himself and others. As time passes, Alex's journey through parallel universes becomes a cherished memory, a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things. He carries the lessons he learned with him, guiding him through the challenges and triumphs of his life. And though he may never again encounter another version of himself or his world, Alex finds comfort in the knowledge that, in some distant corner of the multiverse, echoes of his existence resonate across the cosmos, weaving together the fabric of reality itself.In "Echoes of Existence," Alex's journey through parallel universes is not merely a physical adventure but a deeply personal and introspective one. As he encounters alternate versions of himself and his world, he is forced to confront his own choices, regrets, and desires. Each parallel universe offers a unique reflection of Alex's life, presenting him with versions of himself that have taken different paths. Some are wildly successful, achieving fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams. Others are mired in despair, grappling with the consequences of their decisions. Through these encounters, Alex gains insight into the complexities of existence. He realizes that every choice he makes has ripple effects across the multiverse, shaping not only his own destiny but the destinies of countless others. This realization fills him with a sense of responsibility and awe, as he comes to understand the interconnectedness of all things. But it is not just alternate versions of himself that Alex encounters on his journey. He also meets alternate versions of the people he knows and loves—friends, family, colleagues—all leading lives that are simultaneously familiar and alien. These encounters challenge his perceptions of identity and relationships, forcing him to question the nature of reality itself. As Alex delves deeper into the mysteries of parallel universes, he begins to uncover hidden truths about himself and the world around him. He learns that the boundaries between realities are more porous than he ever imagined, and that the line between truth and fiction is often blurred. Ultimately, "Echoes of Existence" is a story about the power of self-discovery and the infinite possibilities that lie within each of us. Through his journey, Alex learns to embrace the unknown, finding strength and resilience in the face of uncertainty. And though his adventures through parallel universes may come to an end, the echoes of his existence will reverberate across the cosmos for eternity.

Was I a Model in Japan?. Top Story - April 2024.
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
