Finish the Sentence
If we truly are a global village, where hopes, dreams and wisdom are shared in unity amongst diverse cultures, Finish The Sentence explores what it means to be human on this planet. When I had the opportunity, each person I connected with on my journey was asked to finish the same three sentences and with their consent, I snapped a picture of them too. Reading everyone’s answers across the different continents just might help you finish some sentences of your own.

Finish the Sentence
I am inspired by:
Challenges, instinct, characters, goosebumps in the warm wind, sincerity, diversity, humour, freedom, kindness, and things that work when you really, really need them to.
I regret:
The forces, both within and out of our control, that prevent us from believing in our possibilities and follow truly meaningful adventures. Also, mosquitoes, bedbugs, taxi drivers, and sand flies.
Today I am grateful for:
So many once in a lifetimes, my ability to write about them, and the wonderful opportunity to share them with you.

- Science Fiction in Star City
Returning to Russia, I get an exclusive glimpse into the reality of modern space travel, visiting the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, poking my head into real life rocket shipx. From the Moscow Metro to the streets of St Petersburg, the Great Bear presents it challenges, but there is truly nowhere else on earth quite like it.
- Sweet As the South Island
Sweet As. It’s Kiwi slang, and I return to the South Island to find out what it means. Is it the wine, food, and dolphins in Marlborough? Or the extreme gonzo action of canyon swinging, bungy jumping and skydiving in Queenstown? From mansions to car eating parrots, join me on a road trip on the South Island, where we always aim for possums.
- Helsinki, Lapland, and the Midnight Sun
Trying to do Helsinki on just 20 euros a day is a rollercoaster, but things really get hot when I look into the living tradition of sauna. In Lapland, I avoid Santa’s lap on the Arctic Circle, but do meet huskies, reindeer, and giant mosquitoes, buzzing about beneath the glare of the midnight sun.
