I have a photograph of my grandfather driving a donkey cart barefoot.
Because of my Portuguese heritage, I have an interest in all of the instrumentation that comes from Portugal and Brazil as well.
I'm a sucker for corn rows and manicured toes.
Yoga has been something that's always there to take with me and practice throughout any journey. There's no place I've ever been where yoga hasn't fit itself in.
