Adelaide, Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver, Barcelona, and the Greek islands – specifically Ikaria! Ikaria’s my favorite Greece island. My late grandfather is from there! Fun fact: Did you know that’s where Icarus fell? According to Greek mythology, Icarus flew too close to the sun and fell into the sea right there. Ikaria is also one of those Blue Zone regions, so the residents there typically have a longer lifespan!

I'm pretty sure they are all "blue zone" areas where people live long, happy and healthy. Sunshine and watching the sea and having greenery around. All it's really about.

My current artists on rotation are Fred Again, Jamie Jones, and The Smile. Love them. And some tracks I’m digging recently are “Star Shopping” by Lil Peep and “Music Sounds Better With You” by Stardust.

Gomorrah (TV series)It’s this Italian crime drama on HBO Max I’m really into at the moment – the dialogue is all in Italian too, so you’ll need subtitles!Some of my all-time favorite films are Scarface, Indiana Jones, and Lethal Weapon. Oh, I really love foreign/art house films! Though, the last movie I watched was The Notebook – saw it again a couple of months back and I was reminded of what a classic rom-com it is.
