Happy 97th Birthday to Sir #DavidAttenborough 🌿

A living legend who reflects the very best of humanity.

"Many individuals are doing what they can. But real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics."

And breathe that clean, freeezing air! I'm back in the UK for a while. From toxic smog and oppressive heat, which make living in Thailand at this time of year hard, to a cold spring in the UK.

My internal thermostat is in shock 🥶 But I'll never tire of this air or these views.

I'm now also 43 and fitter than I've ever been. I only started running on and off 1.5 years ago and have since set myself big goals, some of which I've already achieved.

With determination and dedication - in whatever we do, I believe we can all achieve amazing things.

Great long piece on visiting World Heritage sites and how we can help protect them for generations to come: https://curiositysavestravel.com/unesco-world-heritage-sustainable-travel-guide-and-responsible-travel-tips

Also including a couple of anecdotes from my experiences in Myanmar and Bolivia below 👇🏻 - two of my fav old travel photos.

I lived in Berlin for 6 months. Then, on my return to London, I was suddenly acutely aware of the British "sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry" reflex coming from every direction. As if it'd been amplified. And even from those who'd been bumped into.

I know, as I do it myself - sorry 🙏

Volume up. To cleanse your feed, the sounds of nature and a gentle breeze from the green of Northern Thailand.

As the intrepid crow flies, Myanmar lies 200 km across increasingly remote river valleys, mountains and tropical forests to the north. Laos is situated 100 km to the east.
