I love getting lost in Brixton’s streets, where vibrant colour and community collide. It’s gritty, creative and full of soul. The kind of place that has that unmistakable Joburg energy. There’s so much hope and good here. 🀩🫢

Rising from ancient lava rock atop an old volcano, Edinburgh Castle has endured for nearly a thousand years, almost immortal through centuries of war and weather. What a place to stand, even briefly, in the shadow of history. πŸŒ‹πŸ°

Watching clouds rolling in, light rain starting to fall, and the soft glow of sunset over Edinburgh’s estuary where the city meets the North Sea. A quiet kind of magic. 🌧️🫢

One of the most surreal sculptures I’ve ever seen. The Kelpies in Falkirk, Scotland rise 30 metres into the sky β€” the world’s largest horse sculptures. Inspired by ancient Scottish folklore, named after shape-shifting water spirits said to haunt rivers and lochs. Both mythical and monumental. πŸ€©πŸ΄βš™οΈβœ¨

20km of wandering streets, watching, and soaking it all in today totally unplanned, just following my feet. This is how I love seeing a city. No map, no rush, just finding the unexpected. 😍
