The effect your location has on you is far greater than people give credit to. I can’t stand cold weather, every year for 5-6 months in Melbourne I would just not be mentally right because of the cold. People would mock me for wearing scarfs and gloves and heavy jackets (considered overkill in Melbourne) but I didn’t care because it made something I personally found intolerable, slightly better. Come summer, my general mood and well-being would always be much improved and what I realised to be normal for me. You need to understand yourself to be able to properly grapple with this, but a change of scenery/location can be very reinvigorating.

I’ve seen all sorts washed up on the beaches of Da Nang in #Vietnam A whole cooking school washed away in a flood, a 60lb eel, life jackets, floats of course, but this has to be the weirdest thing I’ve ever found on any beach anywhere. Yes, that’s a bowling ball 😂
