I love the ocean, I love the eternal rolling of the tides, I look at the ocean in the morning as the sun shines bright sparkling over the surface & again in the evening under the rising stars as the darkened sea reflects the moonlight.
In the ocean I find freedom, the way I lose myself when I stare at the clouds and into the stars that light up the night sky.
I dance to my own song, I remember as a kid wanting to be outside all the time, I couldn't fall asleep in the house, I liked to be out in the fresh spring air.
Being driven round and round town I'd watch the clouds in the pinkish blue sky and slowly drift into the land of dreams.
I hunger for the dirt track road, the winding path to the coast, the stretching horizons that whisper the beginnings of new adventures.
I love the connection of meeting like-minded friends, of sharing nights of conversations, of listening to endless records, of listening to their stories, their adventures retold with all the passion as if it was the first time they were experiencing them.
I like my own time, I live in my own world because it allows me to see the magic in life, anything is possible while you're wandering through wonderland.
I love my family & my friends from all around the world. My mumma is a free spirit, she always danced to her own song & she taught me that in life I only ever needed to find what made me happy that everything else would fall into place if I could discover the things that made me passionate & followed my heart.
One day I want to share my adventures, to spend days in the ocean & nights under the stars, On the road endless days & nights of writing stories, creating memories & following distant horizons.
I don't crave what most people call a successful life, for me my words, the music & my adventures are how I would describe a life well lived.
My inspirations come from the wild hearts, the wanderers, the day dreamers, the one's who refuse to accept all they are told.
These are the people that set my heart on fire.
The image of freedom
I'll never forget the punk gigs I went to as a teen, they had a life changing effect on me, I was so taken by the sound and drawn to the scene. I loved going to those gigs & these days I find myself drawn to the emerging music of the world, of finding new music to share here, of supporting the artists & immersing myself in the music scenes around the world.
I urge each of you, no matter how difficult it may seem to find your passion, your happy.
Then spend everyday living and breathing it.
This is your journey, your story to write...
Look to the horizon for more music posts shortly...

Aloha, Ahoy
At the beginning of this month, I went to Cornwall for a few days to escape the world a while.
If you haven't seen part I of this feature, you can read it here.
The second installment focuses on the time I spent in Boscastle, before then heading to Bude & Port Isaac.
-
Boscastle is a beautiful little fishing village, tucked inside the harbour from the cliff edge. Arriving early in the morning, permitted a rather mystical view of the village. Driving down through the cliffs and hillsides, under canopies of arched trees across the road, the village appeared at the end of the meandering road.
-
A selection of cottages, a handful of inns & a couple of cafe's make up the majority of the village. Set in the valley, a babbling brook runs down through the village and into the harbour, where the picturesque image of fishing boats & the cliffs greets you.
-
The brook & Boscastle Village
-
A stop in the local cafe for Cornish cream tea was probably not necessary after breakfast at the inn, but when in Boscastle...
I had two scones with Cornish clotted cream and jam with a pot of tea - delightful.
It is Cornish tradition to add the clotted cream to the scone atop the jam, whereas in Devon it is generally accepted that you would put the cream on before the jam.

Boscastle has a rather interesting attraction, something I wasn't expecting but was wonderfully surprised to find.
The Boscastle Museum of witchcraft is an intriguing collection of historical, magical & natural pieces that have been implemented by witches locally & from afar throughout the years.
Hosting the worlds largest collection of pieces & has found a place to call home in Boscastle for the last fifty years.
-
Boscastle Museum of Witchcraft
-
Covering the history of witchcraft, the items used to perform rituals and spells, information surrounding well known witches throughout history and modern times, the museum is an educational experience for those visiting. I particularly enjoyed the ingredients used for garden magic, the section on divination & the tarot card reader.
-
Garden Magic Herbs - Casting spells in the witches cottage - Witchcraft Treasures
-
I would certainly recommend a visit to the museum if you're in Boscastle. I definitely found the time I spent there interesting & furthered my knowledge of witchcraft & the local area to Boscastle.
-
After the museum, a walk down to the harbour and up onto the cliffs was refreshing & allowed the enjoyment of beautiful unspoiled views across the coast.
-
Boscastle Cliffs
-
The scenery & geographical location of Boscastle permits the feeling that you have left the modern world far behind. It's one of my favourite places I've traveled to. It's a perfect combination if you're in the area visiting Tintagel & I would certainly recommend spending a day or two in the village.
-
Another selection of little gift shops line the street too & I would certainly recommend checking out the local artist's work, the fudge shop - where the ale lover amongst you can find an incredible selection of Cornish ales. The shopkeeper was particularly good at recommending ales & talking about their origins.
-
I hope you enjoyed this part of the adventure. Part III for Bude and Port Isaac will be up on the blog shortly.
This month's travel snapshot feature focuses on the south west coast of the UK.
My new years resolution was to indulge in everything in life; I thought celebrating my birthday (28 years old...eek) was an excellent way to start a new chapter in my personal life but also to escape on an adventure for a few days.
-
-
In the western most county of England lies Cornwall.
A rugged cliff edged county with the most scenic beaches in England.
It's hard to not lose touch with reality when camped out on the coast of the Celtic Sea.
-
Over a four day road trip across the south coast & into the west, I spent time in the north within the village of Delabole, climbed the many steps up to Tintagel Castle, trekked the cliffs in Boscastle, fell in love with the surf in Bude & found myself never wanting to leave Port Isaac.
Cornwall is truly one of the most magical places on Earth.
-
The landscape is mainly untouched. The sheer rock faces of the cliffs, the swirling tides and surf, the little fishing villages located on harbors set in steeped valleys; make it feel like you've truly traveled to another time and place. A far cry from city life.
-
Let's talk of geography and history for a minute...
History tells us that the county was first inhabited in the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. With continued occupation by the Neolithic & then Bronze Age peoples.
Homeland of the Cornish people, Cornwall is recognized as a Celtic nation. The landscape reflects the counties history.
Cornwall forms the tip of the South West peninsula of Great Britain and is fully exposed to the weather coming in from the Atlantic Ocean.
-
I stayed at The Poldark Inn just outside of the village of Delabole.
A little inn with a quiet nature, stood just inland from the cliffs.
If you get the opportunity to stay there or visit the inn, do take a walk to the left of the building; a narrow pathway that leads through the fields all the way down to the cliff edge.
You can see for miles across the ocean, to the left the little fishing villages and to the right striking cliffs.
The rooms were comfortable (the shower was amazing!) and I had several great night's sleep.
-
The first stop of the trip was Tintagel, which is surrounded by history, myth & magick.
The village and nearby Tintagel Castle are surrounded by the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the round table.
A beautiful castle set upon the cliffs above the bay below. The legend of Merlin's cave & the castle are certainly not to be missed if your in the area.
The village also features the stunning 14th century post office.
-
Tintagel Post Office
-
I loved walking down the hill to the bay, then climbing the steps to the castle ruins. The statue of King Arthur stands tall as you approach the top.
-
The King atop of the cliff
-
Taking a breath and admiring the view is a must for anyone who's made the trip.
I genuinely felt that this was one of the most beautiful and peaceful places that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting.
[Do stop in the little gift shops within the village too, some really cool treasure to be hunted.]
-
Tintagel Castle
-
After the long winding walk down to the bay, I came across where the tide meets the beach.
I felt as though I had entered Middle Earth, Westeros or perhaps even just traveled back in time.
There was something incredibly calming about watching the waves crash against the rocks, despite the loud crashing sound.
I enjoyed the climb up to and along the cliffs. Do take time to explore the second part of the location and walk along the cliff top to the church.
-
Exploring & Trekking
-
After a stop for a drink, it was time to head to the inn (as mentioned above) to check in. Taking time to drive along the coast path through the winding country lanes. For reference if your car has a small engine, do proceed with caution. A couple of 'you can do it, please make it up the hill' moments did occur throughout the trip.
Delabole is named after Delabole quarry, there's also a beautiful church (St. Johns) if you're stopping by. [For those new to the blog - I love architecture particularly of the Gothic and medieval design. Churches included.]
The slate quarry is one of the largest of it's type in England and has been operated since the 15th century. Making it the oldest working slate quarry in England.
-
View from the cliffs

I loved Tintagel and I think the time I stayed there, will stay with me for a long time. If you're looking for a great place to getaway for the weekend, I do certainly recommend staying in Tintagel and exploring the nearby locations.
I hope you've enjoyed this part of the adventure, do pop back for the next parts of the adventure; featuring Boscastle, the beaches at Bude & the stunning harbor at Port Isaac.
The questions can be originally found on Marc&Angel. A blog site that I'm starting to find myself frequenting often.
I've been on a bit of a soul searching journey of late, I'm getting back in touch with myself, rediscovering, recreating & finding my direction.
I read a handful of these questions & decided I'd pop the feature on my list & take time to answer them. You can read the questions & my answers below:
1. How old would you be, if you didn't know how old you are?
I'd be 17. I reckon at a guess. If I could choose, I'd be 426.
(I'm actually 27)
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?
This is a no nonsense answer for me, never trying is much worse than failing. Failing means you've had the courage to try & you'll find the strength to continue.
Sometimes a step back helps us to leap forward. Staying still never gets you anywhere other than where you are.
3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Life is short, but I wouldn't say we do things we don't like, I mean somethings paying bills, paying for travel, food yada yada are necessary. Sometimes we must do things we don't like to be able to do the things we do like. I'm learning not to get stuck in that rut though, to love what you do & do what you love because it is truly the way to keep happiness in your heart.
4. When it's all said & done, will you have said more than you've done?
No I'm determined to truly live rather than exist. I don't like gossip, down talk or small talk. If I'm going to speak to you, it's because I want to communicate with you. I try not to fill my mind palace with anything unnecessary.
5. What is the one thing you'd most like to change about the world?
The war, the anger, the negativity.
We live on a beautiful planet, we should protect her.
We're all stardust hurtling a million miles an hour through the universe.
I don't know about you, but that's pretty spectacular to me, we should definitely celebrate life & all of mankind, nature & the rock we live on.
6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
Dance. Music. Art. Communication.Travel. Anything creative that allows me to unite with people who share my passions.
I'd probably travel the world singing about the planet.
7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
I'm starting to.
I'm finding my independence, my voice & my way.
8. If the human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
I'd stop stressing so much about the little things & enjoy them more. I'd make more of an effort to see family & do the things I love.
I don't need to be told life is short to make me do those things, I'm already aware of that fact and for me currently it's about ensuring the balance I need between professional and personal is created.
9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?
Until my mid twenties not much, though as a teen I had some tough choices to make & I believe they led to the choices of my early twenties.
My mid twenties was when I took a stand.
I made some permanent changes & instead of settling for comfortable I decided to chase passion.
Happiness was going to be comfortable if not a little dull or it was going to be one hell of an adventure, that wouldn't be easy at times but at least it would be real. I have to say that while it's not been easy all the time, it has been real & I feel I'm becoming more confident and stronger in my approach to life.
I'm glad I took that first leap because I honestly believe in the good things coming.
10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? I'm definitely more concerned about doing the right things. I like to get things right, but it's human nature to fall at times. I'd rather fall at doing the right things, then be right doing the mediocre things.
11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They
all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your
friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do?
I'm ashamed to admit that in the past I would have stayed quiet, but these days I'd be more likely to say what I truly felt about that person. I'd find the good quality to remind those people that we all have our flaws but we're all in this together.
I think it's easy to leap on people, but i'd hope someone would take a stand for me, if I couldn't protect myself.
12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?
It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them & understand the lesson.
13. Would you break the law to save a loved one?
Yes. Depending on the course of action that needed to be taken.
I would atone for my actions.
14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?
A band I didn't really like as a kid have grown to become one of my favourite bands in the world & I believe the 9 members are among the cleverest people on the planet, or perhaps the most creative would be a more apt description.
I don't think everyone understands the art but once you get it, it's like one of those real lightbulb moments.
15. What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
I act on intuition, I follow my heart, mind over matter.
No matter the consequence, a trait that that proved less than useful when I was doing day jobs as a teen.
A trait that as I progress through my twenties appears to be one of my strengths of character.
16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy
Because we're all differnet.
Life would be awfully dull if we were all the same.
17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? The one thing I've not done that I've wanted to do for all my life so far, is to follow my heart on the greatest adventure to the other side of the world to a land where creativity & free spiritedness is encouraged.
Holding me back has been myself as my own worst enemy.
...
Watch this space.
18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?
Yes.
I dated a guy in my early twenties and he broke me.
He broke my spirit, he made me question everything about myself.
It took me two years to regain my life back and almost five to be able to talk about it and admit it to myself.
After that I swore to myself that I'd never allow myself to be emotionally controlled by anyone.
I'm learning to let go of what occured between us.
I was lucky to have people around me that held me up & looked out for me while I grew strong again.
19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?
I'd move to California, to San Fransisco, or to Washington State.
I guess they've always felt like home to me. I think I maybe lived there in a past life or perhaps the energy of the world draws me to there.
Either way, I have a connection to those places despite never having travelled there that I cannot explain.
All I know, is that they feel like home.
20. Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?
No, In fact, I prefer the journey.
Taking the train is one of my favourite things to do, watching the platforms and land pass me by as I speed across the country.
Holding my hand out the window to feel the air as I drive along the road.
21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
A worried genius.
Probably sounds mad but I love to learn, I believe it's the simplest way to develop.
I'd take exploration & study over blissful ignorance anyday.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
22. Why are you, you?
Because I am, I can't explain it.
I just know that while I'm here, i'm going to have one hell of an adventure.
I want to see everything, experience all that I can.
Live.
23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
At times, I have my moments.
I try to be a good person.
I try to follow the mantra of treat others as you wish to be treated.
24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
Losing touch with a friend who lives right near you.
Because distance holds no sway over a true friendship.
Losing friends I've been close with has been among the most painful learning experiences I've endured as I've developed.
25. What are you most grateful for?
For the realisation that I am completely free.
That I alwatys have a choice, a voice & all I need to do is decide how to spend the time that is given to me.
26. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
This is a tough one.
I think I'd have to go with losing all of my old memories because I'd rather live in the present looking to the future than to live in the past.
That being said I'd rather not do either, my memories are precious to me.
They keep me guided on where i've come from.
Where I've been & the lessons i've learnt.
They allow me to learn and utilise the present to create a good future. 27. Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first?
Some truths you know in your heart.
You don't need to be told them to unerstand them.
In my experience it's not the truth that needs challenging.
28. Has your greatest fear ever come true?
Yes. Several times.
My greatest fear is feeling completely alone, as though you've failed everyone & everything you've put time into.
Several times in my life I've felt as though I've been totally alone & as though I've completely failed.
Luckily whether it's been friends, family or strangers who've become family I've been loved enough that I was able to stand again & find the strength to leap once more into the ocean of the world.
29. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now?
Yes I remember, no it doesn't matter to me now, but it has helped to shape me.
I've learnt & become stronger.
30. What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special?
My happiest childhood memory is taking walks along the river and through the hills with my parents and brother.
It reminds me of a simpler time, a time that should be treasured & relived as much as possible.
31. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?
When I started my blog.
It was in a time when I was burning everything I'd ever known or been told.
I took the first steps into my adult life, there were no signs, no markings on the road.
I just followed my heart & began to write.
It led me to the path I am on now.
While that path isn't always clear, though I've become lost, it's allowed me to truly find myself & create myself.
32. If not now, then when?
Now is all the time you have.
33. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose?
I'm learning that I have nothing to lose, because it's better to try and fail than to never have tried.
34.Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever?
I have, I've also had the greatest conversation with the least likely people.
I've had the opportunity to learn that sometimes you can make friends in the least likely of places in the least likely of characters.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
35. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?
Because mankind becomes confused when tied up in facts.
If we all read the big picture, we'd probably see just how similar the basis & characters are.
It's my belief among karma, that we belong to the Earth & that we're connected one and all that the powers that be first took a human from each corner of the globe.
They invited these people to the top of a hill where they were all told the story of religion.
Each of these people went back to their community and relayed the story.
Translations differ, stories change over time and the whispers have led everyone to believing such different faiths that people are willing to kill for it.
Power is hungry & will devour anyone in it's way.
36. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil?
Absolutely.
Trust your heart.
Trust in yourself.
Sometimes the lines are blurred and you gotta be careful not to get burned.
37. If you just won a million dollars would you quit your job?
Yes. I always thought I wouldn't but as I've got older, I've begun to realise that yes I'd quit my job so someone else could have the chance to forge a career.
I'd set about being the difference I'd like to see in the world.
I'm working on that day by day, but winning a million dollars would allow me to leap into it.
38. Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing?
I'd rather have more work that I enjoy doing, but I'm making the necessary changes to create the balance in my life.
Life is about balance, variety is the spice.
Music is the food.
Freedom is the road.
39. Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before?
No because today I'm forging my own path in the forest of life.
40. When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in?
About three years ago, but this week I've relit that torch.
I've wandered through the door & I'm on the road.
41. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?
I'd spend time with my mummabear, my papabear, my brotherbear.
I'd call my friends the world over.
I'd watch the sunset with the people I love.
42. Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?
HELL NO.
Time makes us beautiful, wisdom radiates beauty. I'd rather be wrinkly & maintain my anonymity forging my story than die young, beautiful and famous.
Those who make a difference in the world are those who are remembered.
Fame won't make you successful.
43. What is the difference between being alive and truly living?
Being alive we exist, we eat, we socialise, we go about our daily routine.
When we truly live, we let go of all that, they become little acts of the day but they do not rule us.
We thrive on every moment of the adventure. 44. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?
I think in your heart you know it's time, you know it's right.
Sometimes it's possible to be in a place physically but you're not there spiritually.
But when you're in a place spiritually you just follow your heart, your intuition.
45. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?
Human nature I guess.
We're creatures of habit, we've grown in a world obsessed with success - to fail is seen as such a negative.
Sometimes failure is neccesary to truly free us.
46. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
Exactly what I'm doing now, being true to myself.
It's a learning thing for me at the moment, I'm still getting to know Krystal Gemma but each day I'm breaking free a little more.
Learning to use my voice.
Finding my colours.
47. When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing?
Today.
Listening to your breathing allows you to tap into your essence, your rhythm.
When you can htap into and dance to that tune, you'd be surprised at the energy you can find.
48. What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love?
Life.
Truly living.
I feel as though I've been asleep and just woken up.
I'm all about the music, the beats, the message.
I'm all about the arts, likeminded souls and the passions that I thrive upon.
49. In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that?
I think I will.
Let me tell you why - because resurecting my blog has allowed me to recreate myself in the image of who I am at heart.
I don't think I'll forget this transition.
It's like tumbling down the rabbit hole into wonderland.
But instead of ending in wonderland, I'm landing in reality, but this time i'm seeing everything in colour.
50. Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you
making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?
I think actually, for once being totally honest - I'm finally making them for myself.
It's incredibly freeing.
It's terrifying but exciting.
Finding my own interpretation of the things that inspire me, of my way of life.
Excitifying.
-
I hope you enjoyed reading this post, if you've been inspired to answer the 50 questions that will free your mind please do share your post in the comments below.
I wasn't sure what to expect from the questions, but what I've found is clarity in my thought.
Everything I've been thinking, realising in my heart is true.
The time for wondering is done.
The time for action is now.
I'm on my journey.
Today is just the first step.
-
I wouldn't be the person I am becoming, I wouldn't have had the strength to follow my heart into the forest if it hadn't been for someone who was introduced to me.
Someone who I've never actually met, but who has encouraged me to listen to the tune within.
Someone who's music spoke volumes to me when I listened.
Someone who is incredibly special to me - who lit the path when my torch went out.
Who's medicine began to heal me.
Who provided me with a beacon when I felt lost in the fog.
Who when I thought things would never make sense again, showed me that life was just around the corner if I was willing to take the steps.
Helping me to find my place in my families heritage, in my grandads tribe.
Believing in the life I embodied but struggled to understand & to reason with in the world.
For providing me with the inspiration to dance to the beat of my drum barefoot & follow my heart.

Number 63. of category Creative was to take a photograph of myself on Day One & Day 1001. While I can't yet tick this off the list, I can indeed begin the task.
I've decided as I've shared the list of 101 things in 1001 days with you, that I'll share my progress with you. I'm aiming for one post a week to provide you with updates of my completed tasks.
I write lists, I make lists, I think of lists; in fact even in my sleep from time to time I've become aware of things to add to my list.
This has resulted in an obsession with purchasing notebooks.
I believe that enriching yourself through experiences is a great way to develop yourself, your story & a way to encourage opportunity in your life.
-
For this reason when I was told about Day Zero Project, I knew I wanted in.
Day Zero is an online community for people who love creating lists, setting challenges & making positive changes in their lives.
-
The people behind Day Zero believe that open lists like bucket lists don't work because the pressures off, but when you add in a time constraint, your focus and determination kick in.
Which I have to say I totally agree with.
I'm not one for rushing but I liked the idea of the 101 in 1001, my reasons for this are threefold.
One I'm 27 so I'll be turning 30 shortly before my list is up, while I'm not freaked about the horizon of 30, I want to make the most of my twenties.
While I'm happy in my life, I want to make some changes to the route I'm wandering down, I feel that this list will ensure I'm sticking to my ambitions.
Last but not least, by spreading the list over a couple of years I can really measure the progress & experience the list has encouraged me to accomplish.
-
Day Zero Project have lots of inspiration for lists, but never one to shy away from a challenge, I'm opting for the 101 in 1001.
101 things is quite a list, so to ensure I utilize the list and time as best I can I'm dividing my list into categories.
Five categories comprising a list of twenty goals (apart from travel which has twenty one, because y'know the heart wants what it wants!)
